Question

Is my wife a good candidate for BBL? What needs to be done to make her a candidate? I am doing preleminary research now to find the best route to go. I want a sexy butt that makes me want to touch it 24 hours a day. I hope Dr Jimmerson chooses to respond to this because I like his work the best. Please help.

The answer is yes she is a good
candidate for a BBL, she has plenty of donor fat to harvest and best to make
sure her BMI is under 30 prior to proceeding. Speaking on a more global
cosmetic point of view, she will do well with a tummy tuck to complete the
rejuvenation of her body. She would see a dramatic difference from these
procedures.

Thanks for your question. Best results are obtained when the patients are at or near their ideal weight. However, I also realize that it's sometimes very difficult and frustrating for patients. Your wife could benefit from a BBL and slimming down of her waist. She will eventually need a tummy tuck and breast procedure to complete the makeover. I would caution you against having both procedures done at the same time for fear of affecting fat survival and eventual results.  I am not in the camp that advocate doing both (tummy tuck and BBL) at the same time. Think about it, When fat is transferred to the buttocks, the fat cells need all of the oxygen possible in order to survive. Fat transfers (BBL) require a rich oxygen environment in order to attempt the highest rate of survival of the fat cells. Fat is not just transferred to the buttock region. In order to obtain that shapely pear shape behind you must transfer fat to the area of the hip laterally to make for more attractive curves. If you lie on your side it will place undue pressure on the transferred fat cells and perhaps flatten out the area.  We recommend that our patients do not place any significant pressure on their butts for 4-6 weeks following the BBL. Research research, then research some more. Always seek out the opinion of a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with years of experience in liposuction and fat transfers. Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Have they had problems with the Board of Medicine, disciplinary or otherwise. Any law suits? If you have a Tummy tuck and BBL done at the same time, how are you going to avoid lying on your back, face up when the tummy tuck prevents you from lying face down? I recommend that the BBL be done first to utilize the abdominal fat which would otherwise be discarded with the tummy tuck. After a minimum of three months , the patient is brought back and the TT is performed. Good luck, Dr. PG

Based on the photos, your wife is a candidate for BBL, but she will also need a tummy tuck to remove all the excess skin on her tummy. She will probably need more than one procedure. The best route will be to make an appointment to see a plastic surgeon. Thanks for investing in your wife. Wish more men would seek to enhance the lives of their wives. Good luck

Weight loss prior to surgery would probably allow for a better result.  I would search for the surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you
the best results. Look at reviews and before and after pictures on that
surgeon's website. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Based on these photos, I would recommend losing some weight prior to surgery in order to have the best outcome from a BBL. The loose skin and stretch marks in the lower abdominal area suggest she may benefit from a tummy tuck as well. The square shape of the buttock can certainly be improved with a fat transfer procedure. At a lower weight, your wife will have a better cosmetic result and there will be a lower risk of complications during and after the surgery. Consult with a few plastic surgeons for a complete exam and review of your options. Thank you for submitting these photos.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
