Belly looks 4 months pregnant, "Sponge Bob" bottom

I know that without seeing me it's hard to tell if I am a good candidate, but for the longest time I have had a belly that looks that of a 4 month old pregnant woman, with a "Sponge Bob" bottom! However, I feel that my skin is still youthful enough to strengthen without loose skin. A plastic surgeon once said I am a great candidate for a Tummy Tuck over Liposuction. Do you think I would also be a candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Tummy tuck, buttock augmentation

Basically, if you have stretch marks and loose skin of your abdomen, you're typically a candidate for a tummy tuck instead of liposuction.

Candidate for Brazilian Butt

If you are a candidate for a tummy tuck then the skin and fat taken during a tummy tuck can be used for butt enhancement . this way you will get the benefit of tummy tuck and butt enhancement. If on the other hand you are a candidate for liposuction then the fat can be used for Brazilaian Butt Enhancement

Tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift

Those two procedures are good procedures to perform together, as the plastic surgeon can harvest more fat for the butt augmentation when a tummy tuck is performed at the same time. Tummy tuck is good when there is some loose skin in the abdomen and as far as the brazilian butt lift, it depends what you are looking for. Liposuction can help contour the surrounding areas and then the fat can be injected to provide more volume in the gluteal area. Hope that helps
