Tags: candidate, expectation, loose skin, technique

I've consulted with 7 plastic surgeons and each one had a different answer. The answers I got were: fat grafting doesn't work, liposuction will leave me with loose skin and wrinkles, I don't have enough fat,and a couple said they could do it and not to worry about loose skin. I'm more confused than I was before the consults, who do I listen to.......HELP! Im 29, 5'3 128 pounds.

Brazilian Buttock lift

The pictures posted look that the skin in the abdomen is of good quality (can only be confired with in person examination). Liposuction, abdomen, and flanks have enough fat for BBL Fat grafting will work when done by expert and experienced surgeon in BBL. Expect at least 50-80% of the fat transfered to stay.

Differing opinions on BBL

What you have experience is not at all unexpected. Seeing multiple surgeons to discuss aesthetic surgery will often result in hearing many differing opinions. However, based on my experience and reviewing your photos, I would say that you are a very good candidate for liposuction and brazilian buttock lift (fat transfer to the buttocks), from what I can tell, your skin tone is quite reasonable and should retract nicely, I have certainly performed liposuction many times on... more

Brazilian butt lift and loose skin

Brazilian butt lift is a liposuction fat injection. In my opinion when you do superficial liposuction you get skin contraction. In my patients I will get some skin contraction in all patients the quality of skin and the tone the skin determines how much skin contraction the patient will get. But in my hands all the patients get some contraction. Judging by your photos I think the liposuction and fat injection will do well for you I think you could be very curvy and have good skin... more

BBL- Does It Work and How Can I Tell if Lipo Will Leave Me with Loose Skin? (photo)

Hi and thank you for your question. First of all, the Brazilian butt Lift is becoming more popular and it wouldn't be if it didn't work. I have been performing this procedure for 12 years. The procedure itself does work. The problem is that technique is very important in fat transfer and the doctors that say it doesn't work is because it doesn't work in their hands. I think you are a great candidate. I would recommend removing fat from your... more

The Brazilian Butt Lift Definitely works!

I find it funny that some surgeons still say that the Brazilian Butt Lift doesn't work! I have performed this procedure for about 14 years now and have hundreds of happy Brazilian Butt Lift patients. I have seen some of these patients years after I performed this procedure for them. All of them look as good as they did 3 months after surgery. It definitely works when it is performed by surgeons who know how to make it work. The most important thing for you... more

Will performing a BBL result in having loose skin postoperatively?

The Brazilian Butt Lift is becoming a very popular procedure, but most doctors have stll not performed the procedure because of lack of knowlege and experience with it. They feel that since the results are only tempoary in the face the same will happen in the buttocks. This could not be farther from the truth. I have been performing the procedure for over 10 years and the BBL has now become the most common procedure I perform in the office. Looking at your phtographs it appears that you have... more

The Recommendations you get will ALWAYS depend on who you get them from

Hi there- First of all, let's take a deep breath... You haven't had surgery yet, and are still in a great position to make decisions that will ultimately be in your best interests. There should be no reason that the differing opinions you have received should upset you, or unsettle you. There are very reasonable explanations for this: Regardless of the patient, her goals, or the procedure being discussed, there will always be some variability in the way that... more
