Am I a good candidate for Brazilian butt lift? I am 5'8 and 167 pounds (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi Gessica, based on your pictures it seems that you are a great candidate for a BBL. I would not recommend to lose any more weight.  You must keep in mind that you can lose up to 30% of the fat that is injected and your wish pictures are nice and large in volume. The more fat available the better your gluteal projection will be.

Best Wishes,
Dr Miami :)

What is the recovery time on a Brazilian butt lift?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi Megrapp, the recovery for a BBL is usually 2 wks. The first couple of days can be tough. Patients are weak and complain of headaches and fatigue. I prescribe all of my liposuction patients iron tablets to be taken 3 times a day which helps with the possible anemia that can result from having a BBL.  All of my patients use a boppy pillow to sit on during the first month. The actual surgery can take anywhere from 2-3 hours depending on how many areas of liposuction are done. Its takes about a month before you can show off your new body.

Best Wishes,
Dr Miami :)

Can cellulite be improved with a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi kk22, unfortunately liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite. A BBL will dramatically improve your overall body shape when done correctly. Good luck!

I'm 5'2 210. How much should I lose before I can get a Brazillian but lift & tummy tuck? Mind you, I'm looking for a big...

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi Mslcortez, it is best to have your BMI under 32 before surgery. Your current BMI (body mass index) is 38.4 you need to get down to 175 lbs to have a BBL with minimal risks. You can do it! :)

Can I lose a little weight after Brazilian Butt Lift without losing results?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
You can definitely tone up after surgery once you are fully healed. I highly recommend it to all my patients. Just keep in mind that usually if you lose more than 10 pounds you will notice a loss of volume on your gluts.

Could a Brazilian butt lift help or fix my issues? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Doing a BBL will definitely improve your shape and form. Due to the looseness of your skin you will need a good amount of fat to make a significant difference. A BBL is the best way to get the results you want with minimal scaring.

Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery Before and After: How can a person achieve the best result?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It all depends on your current height and weight and what your goals are.  Some patients need to lose weight before surgery, some need to gain and some need to maintain their current weight. Surgeons usually give full instructions during th preop visit.

Brazilian Butt Lift workout schedule: What do you suggest before and after surgery?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
There are no specific exercises that I recommend to my patients before surgery. I always encourage all of my patients to work out once they are fully healed. It is important to keep in mind that if you begin to lose weight after a BBL your butt will go down proportional with your body. Most of my patients stay away from intense cardio and focus on toning their body by weight training.

Best Wishes!

Which procedure is best to get first, since I don't think it would be safe or wise to get a TT and BBL done at the same time?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It is safe to do multiple procedures at the same time as long as you are healthy and not anemic.

Amazing Service

I had an excellent experience with them. I highly recommend the surgeon. They pay extreme attention to detail from consultation all the way through aftercare. He is worth every penny. They went in above and beyond and helped me through my anxiety, and we’re always very responsive to any questions that I had.

Best Choice

Dr. Miami is more amazing than when I had my first surgery 15 years ago. His staff treated me better than family. I couldn't have asked for better treatment. If you are considering any type of cosmetic surgery, you should definitely talk to this doctor. I felt confident that my needs were understood and i came out of surgery knowing they were. Thank you!!

100% Recommend! The absolute BEST!

Dr. Miami is the absolute BEST! He loves what he does, and he does it impeccably. He explained everything in detail, and I knew exactly what to expect pre op, post op and during recovery at home. There was not a detail he did not explain, and there were no surprises. 10/10, highly recommend!

My self-confidence is back

The best results!!!!!I had researched for two years different doctors that did BBL’s. I’ll even set an appointment and paid a down payment For Mia aesthetics. I got to thinking and with my factor five I wanted to make sure I had the best doctor, so I chose Dr Miami after tons of research that was the best decision I made in my whole life. He has changed my whole life. I get excited about shopping now my self-confidence is back, he is the most amazing doctor and has the most amazing staff. if you’re ever second-guessing yourself, never do it. If you have Dr Miami , you have nothing to worry about you were in such good hands with that man. I could not think him enough for what he’s done for me. Updated on 4 Sep 2024: The absolute most amazing experience in my life. Dr Miami was even more than I could have imagined. I research for four years, almost For surgeons with zero Deaths and that is very hard To find. I have a blood clotting disorder called factor five I had to get clearance through my hematologist per Dr Miami . When I tell you, I felt 100% secured when he did my surgery that’s the truth .That man is a body artist. many people take years of schooling to do artistry Dr Miami took years of schooling to do body artistry. Literally, he cares what the body looks like. He cares about his clients. He gave me my life back and I could not think enough. I am going to put my before and after and not everyone’s the same, but the only thing I got was a BBL, he told me I Needed a tummy tuck as well and not trying to make money telling me what I truly need and he was right I didn’t need a tummy tuck as well as a BBL but at the time I could not afford both. But he did the damn thing on my BBL

In Love with my Results - feel like the prettiest girl in the world.

What an amazing experience. Not only did he change my nose, he changed my life. because of him I am so much more confident in myself and my side profile. Having the opportunity to get my nose done by one of the best surgeons in Miami was amazing. It was such an amazing experience from the pre op visits and the the post op care from the nurses at the hotel. Dr.Miami made me feel like family. I loved getting my nose done and I am utterly in love with how it came out. I get so many compliments and it makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world.Thank you to Dr.Miami and all the staff for making this whole procedure and experience unforgettable. I am proud to say that Dr.Miami was my surgeon and I recommend everyone to do the procedure they want with him because he will make you feel so comfortable and the staff is always a big help.

Best Doctor! Best Responsiveness! Best Bedside Manner!

Dr. Miami is truly amazing! He performed my tummy tuck and lipo 360 in March of 2023, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY RESULTS! He was always patient with me and attentive to answer any questions I had, which helped lessened my anxiety about surgery. His 24 hour recovery team was awesome! They were proactive in anticipating my care needs which made the recovery process so much easier.

Absolutely Amazing for out of Town Patients!

Absolutely amazing for out of town patients! His hotel set-up is perfect for someone traveling alone. I was there the first 3 days after surgery by myself and had no problem. I had company the rest of the week, but they still checked on me several times a day.
