I am a 5’4 white woman and I weight 140lbs. I have a wide rib cage and small hips with hip dips. I’ve struggled with losing weight, I’ve weighed 160-170 most of my life until about 2 years ago and I’ve gotten from 130-140 but I still have stomach and hip fat but in the wrong places? I want a rounder bum but I have a low butt crack and smaller waist. It probably doesn’t help that my breast have sagged since I’ve lost weight and my nipples point down towards my stomach. What can I do?
Answer: BBL Candidate Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a BBL. A BBL requires 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. If you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body for fat transfer to the buttocks, such as the upper arms and chin. This procedure would give you an hourglass figure and a more prominent buttocks. Regarding your breasts, I cannot provide an recommendations since they do not show in your pictures. I suggest you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with BBL and breast augmentation procedures and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: BBl candidate Dear SageMom001, 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.

Answer: 5'4, 140lbs, what steps/procedures would get me a more flattering figure? Thank you for your question and photos. Your BMI is 24. You are an excellent candidate for VASER Hi Def Liposuction 360 degrees and fat transfer to the hip dips and buttocks. Since you do not have a lot of fat, it is imperative to choose the right surgeon for this procedure. Will not have extra fat for correction. As a Total Definer surgeon, I do these procedures in our certified in office operating suite under deep intravenous sedation. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Considering a Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL Thank you for the question. The Brazilian Butt lift, known as BBL, is as much about reshaping the area around the buttocks, as it is about shaping the buttocks. The areas to consider reshaping may include the hip, known as the flanks, mid, and lower back, the stomach, and the inner/outer thighs. The fat harvested from reshaping these areas is then refined down to the healthy cells. These cells are then used to reshape the buttocks, by adding volume in the needed areas. Based on your photos, the lower back, and flanks would provide the best reshaping opportunity, followed by your stomach. If you have had a previous pregnancy, then the stomach should be approached more lightly, or not at all, to avoid causing looseness of stomach skin. These details would be easy to determine during an in-person exam. The lower position of your buttock crack is not as much of an issue as it may seem. The goal is to work with what you do have, and improve it. Dr. B.
