5'7, 140lbs, would I get nice results from a BBL with my body shape & weight? (Photos)

After reviewing your photos I think you would benefit from liposuction of medial thighs, flanks and the lower, small of your back. I could see you getting nice results from a low volume fat grafting to hip dips to improve your overall shape however I do not feel you will get the projection you are aiming for since you only have a small amount of fat available, but it will provide a significant difference since you have a small frame.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Hello @madisonvvvl, thank you for your question. A Brazilian Butt lift can greatly improve the shape and proportionality of the body by highlighting the contour at the waist level and improving the characteristics of the gluteal projection without exaggerating, from my perception of beauty. However, the bone structure does not change and remains the same, which influences the outcome of the procedure. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear madisonvvvl,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

You do not seem to be ideal candidate for BBL; amount of fat surgeon can harvest from your abdomen and flanks is minimal. You can expect that in very experienced hands of a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in fat transfer, you will see an improvement in buttocks and hips but not in the extent shown in your "dream photos". In person consultation with a surgeon who has excellent reputation in BBL, is strongly recommended. Good luck.

Hello !

A physical examination is essential and required for the surgeon to assess the fat deposits on your body and discuss realistic expectations for the procedure. Renuva, a semi-permanent filler, can also be used to supplement fat transfer to some degree.

EMSculpt can also offer great results in complement. After completing a standard set of four treatments, many patients observe a plumper and more rounded shape.

I hope this helps,
Best of luck !

Dear Madison,
Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures, I think that you could get a significant improvement with a Lipo 360 and BBL. However, we need to see more of the areas of your body where we can harvest fat from. Often times, in patient such as yourself, liposuction of the arms, upper back, abdomen and flanks are required to get enough fat for the procedure. I will send you a picture of a patient with your similar size and her results so you can compare. She had 750 cc of fat injected.
Also realize that if after you have a BBL, you feel that your buttocks are still a little small, you can increase the size by gaining some weight.
Hope this helps and remember to always see a board-certified plastic surgeon for your needs.
Thank you.

The only safe thing to inject in the buttocks in my opinion is fat from your own body. You are lucky to be thin, but there is nowhere near enough fat to make you look like that photo. Additionally, your body structure would not support the circulation needed to feed all of that fat. Gaining weight to have enough to do a transfer is foolish and should not be encouraged. It is fine to admire others' shapes, but each of us is unique.

A lot of times the picture and final result from a BBL are as much depending on how much Liposuction is done versus how much Fat grafting is done. The contouring of the body can be very aesthetically, improved through Liposuction , and then, adding the advantage of Fat grafting, brings volume to your Buttocks. I think that you have an excellent chance at an amazing result. Understand, however, that often pictures that we see on the Internet are of people who have had several rounds of fat grafting done. You can definitely have an amazing result. We are happy to help in any way we can.

Hi, thanks for your question and photos. The answer is Yes. You can have great results with BBL. Remember that you need an in-person exam. Find an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. BBL volume depends on the fat amount you have in other areas. If you don't have enough, you can have an option with butt implants. Good luck!
