I have a broad back; waistline and a pee-wee wanna be butt (i dislike very much). I have stubborn fat in lower back; waistline; back and arms and i have exercised, weight trained, ate healthy...all my adult life. All thats changed is a smaller frame version of my "boy body"...I cant stand it anymore...I am 5'6" 138lbs and I want a shelf badongadong butt!!! and my PS says he can get only about 500-700cc's and do not know if this is sufficient?..also, can I get more cc's to put into each cheek from looking at my b4 body?...I am scheduled for my bbl in 2 weeks.

Hi SSN -- Thanks for posting. Where are they taking the fat from? I can see what you mean, that you don't have a lot to work with (which is normally a good thing ;).

I have a lot of fat in tummy/pubic area; flanks; back and arms...If you look at my side view profile you can see the fat in my tummy..and as for my back profile, i dont have a definitive waistline...my clothes fall flat and I have no contouring...I really desire an S-Curve figure with a huge shelf and major contour...I just dont want to have to try to gain a whole set of weight in the next 2 weeks and then have to lose it back and in essence lose whatever fat they will be able to apply to the buttocks...? My measurements are 36-31-36...

I want at least 800 cc's...I believe I have that much donor fat from the sites i mentioned above...your thoughts?

I wouldn't want to speculate and end up giving you the wrong answer... But if you post your question in the Doctor Q&A Forum then you'll get some professional opinions from the docs who post on RealSelf.

i.e 800 cc's per cheek!

Hello SSN I know u want a "shelf" booty but you probably need to gain a little more weight and I only say this because as far as I can tell your kegs are nice and slim and if you were to get this Shelf booty it wouldn't look proportioned with ur slim legs. I weigh about 155lbs. but I have nice boobs and thick thighs so once I have my bbl surgery my shelf booty will look more normal than yours because my thighs and legs are thicker than yours...just look up angel Lola love, she had work done and you can tell her butt is fake because there is no way those legs could hold up a butt that huge! So if you want the shelf butt try to gain a bit more weight and don't worry about losing it if it's all in the right places. Good luck!!!

lmfo....that is too funny...she look crazy!!!...well i am very sure i wont look anything like that...I mean, home girl is like half my size and looks like all her booty was put in the lower section of her buttock?...I am pretty sure I will look anything close to that...LOL>...plus i dont even think its possible to even get that much body fat from me...who is she anyways?????....My goal is to have most of the projection on the upper to middle buttock...not on the lower buttock...just to add that "shelf" look...but I am much bigger than I look in those pics...i gained a total of 7 lbs...and I dont think i wanna gain anymore...my tummy aches and i have difficulty breathing with eating this much...way not normal for me....lol..thanks...and keep us posted on your surgery?....;0)

I think she's some kind of video chick but whoever did her surgery shouldnt have gotten paid cause it looks like her butt is dropping down! Yea she looks crazy, I think what they do is either have butt implants and fat injections or they go back a second or third time because nikki minaj had NO BOOTY whatsoeva when I looked at her old pics and neither did tiny ( T.I.'s wife) now they have all kinda butt but tiny's look more real than nikki minaj's hers is just too big....well good luck on your surgery I have to travel all the way to Baltimore, MD for mines. Dr. Daniel P. Markmann is gonna do it. I'm hoping the beginning of next year.

exciting stuff...best of luck to you as well...I bet you anything that there are more women walking around having had some kind of procedure done, whether its a lift, a tuck, a pinch, or an enhancement...and you know how it goes...I am not telling if you aint!..LOL>...I definitly wouldnt do Implants or injections...they are both very dangerous procedures and have long term side effects...the BBL is the safest and long term satisfactory results...hey...its our own fat we are moving from one place to the next...aint nothing wrong with a lil help!!!....will keep you all posted..my surgery is in 10 days!!!!

Hello, what is a shelf booty?
February 10, 2011
hey, I hope the surgery goes well for you, I think you have a nice figure already with hardly any fat so Im interested to know where your doc is going to remove the fat from as there doesnt seem to be a lot of fat anywhere. we have a similar body type and i too want to get this done so keep us posted with the results and weather or not you thought it was worth it!!...Good luck hun xx

hey minaj...thannks for replying my question really helpful..im actually from london so would have to stay wherever my ps is for like 6 weeks so i could go back for the checkups n stuff...the bbl isnt that common here and the docs here dont have that much experience in it!! :-(...could I have a look at ur before n after pics, I was thinking of doctor dodds who is based in atlanta but i like the way ur results look even just from ur profile pic n if the before n after pics are even better then i think id like to go to the person who did yours!! :-) x
