Am I a good candidate for BBL only or do I need a tummy tuck for best results? (Photo)

Question

I have a lot of trench marks Bd what appears to be extra skin. I would like to only have a BBL but I'm concerned I will have too much extra skin on my abdomen. Thank you

If you prefer staging the procedures, I may recommend the liposuction and BBL first, followed by the tummy tuck three to six months later so that the result will be as tight as possible.

Dear ana_ale24,
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.

BBL stands for Brazilian butt lift. It is a procedure that adds volume and shape to some degree to the buttocks.  it does not Address the front of your abdomen.

If you want to tight flat abdomen you’ll need a full tummy tuck.

I don’t think liposuction is going to create an impressive results for your abdomen. You don’t have that much fat and most of the issues are related to skin laxity.

Best,
