I received smart lipo from an amazing plastic surgeon a few years ago to my abdomen, flanks and inner thighs, and I opted not to do a BBL because I was scared of the recovery at the time. My "H" square butt still bothers me VERY much. What are /if any options to help with this? I'm not even sure I would have enough fat to get a BBL at this point / I don't want implants. Thanks in advance!
Answer: Buttock surgery options Thanks for your question and attached photo! It is difficult to say with complete certainty since I have not examined you myself, but I would recommend fat transfer to the hips as the best option. You may consider being evaluated for any areas on your body with excess fat, possible waistline or inner thighs again. There are filler options as well such as Sculptra and Renuva that can mimic fat, however natural fat transfer will give you the most volume replacement. Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, good luck!

Answer: Butt Augmentation - body contouring Ok consider two products that are off the shelf for issues like yours: Sculptra an/or Renuva. Both can help enhance shape of buttocks when patients do not have enough of their own fat. Best Wishes!!

Answer: Options for less of a square butt…? You are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, etc.) as most of the fat melts away. It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor nor liposuction technique but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem. Thus, going back for round 2 BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss. Additionally, you clearly have no good fat available for liposuction and fat transfer.

Answer: Buttocks and hips contouring Hello and thank you for your questions and your picture. One view does not provide enough information to adequately assess the buttock and hip areas. Since you do not want buttock implants the other option available is to undergo some fat transfer to the areas in order to improve your shape and contour. However, as you point out, that is highly dependent on whether or not you have enough fat to make a difference. I would start with a consultation with a plastic surgeon to get an adequate physical exam and come up with a treatment plan that is tailored to you. I wish you the best.
