Can a BBL be done to change the shape of your butt without making it look bigger?

Question

I already have a nice "Size" butt, but the shape is not as round as I would like and I have cellulite on it. I would like to get a BBL that would give me a better shaped/Fuller looking butt but I do not want my butt to be too much bigger. A little bigger is fine, however I am scared that a BBL will make my already big booty HUGE. Can I get a BBL just to give me a better shape without adding too much extra size?

BBL can be adjusted to meet your specifications with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who has performed the procedure thousands of times.

Hi, thanks for your question. In general, you will get more volume to the buttocks because adding fat to shape it will also add volume. That being said, fat can be placed in the areas where you would like more roundness. This can be placed more out to the sides, more on top, or more centrally. Also, liposuction above the buttocks and around the lower back will also help shape the backside. Next best step is to get a consult with a plastic surgeon so he/she can best guide you based on your desires. All the best!Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

Yes you can certainly tailor whatever results you're going for to the technique.  You can just have liposuction by itself if you want, or you can just inject a small amount of fat instead of everything that is able to be.  Seeing a board certified PS who knows the anatomy and is safe is most important.  It's your body and your money, so for the most part we plastic surgeons are here to help you achieve your goal and have a frank but open discussion.

Hi and thanks for your question. 
An important part of the Brazilian butt lift is the Liposuction/ Liposculpture. The waist is contoured three dimensionally and then this fat can be used to augment the buttocks. It does not have to be ALL used however, and only a small portion as deemed adequate can be used and the rest thrown away. The decision-making with regards to how much is used and how much is thrown away is a discussion between you and your plastic surgeon. 
 In your case after the waist and abdomen are contoured in a proportional and esthetic manner, a small amount of fat grafts can be injected to improve the roundness and correct the cellulite. The rest would be discarded. 
 I hope this helps answer your question. If you have further questions or need of information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
