How many ccs can I receive for a inverted triangle body shape? (photo)

Question

I'm 5'8 and 173lbs. I have an inverted triangle body shape with fatish slim legs, no hips and no butt. How many ccs would give me a more natural look and not a fake look for someone with an inverted triangle body shape? BBL

BBL
goals are not quite as easy to effectively communicate as compared to breast
augmentation. There are no cup sizes or informative cc guides.
We
as surgeons tend to describe things in regards to framing and esthetic zones
(as defined by Dr. Mendieta). Beginning with frame, patients are subdivided
into "A" frame, "V" frame based on the relationship of the
A point to the B point. The A point is the most prominent bony point on the
upper hip-the iliac crest. The B point is the prominent bony point on the lower
hip- the greater trochanter. When the A point is wider than the B point you
have the "V" frame which is generally considered less aesthetically
desirable. When the ratio is flipped with the B point being wider than the A
point you have an "A" frame which is more desirable. When the two
points are equal you have a "square" frame.
The
goal of most BBL procedures is to convert "V" or "Square"
frames into "A" frames by understanding the 11 aesthetic units from
which we either harvest or transfer fat. These units are:
1.
Sacrum or "V" zone at the top of the gluteal cleft
2.
Flank
3.
Upper buttock-lower flank
4.
Lower back-just above the "V" zone
5.
Outer leg-below the "B" point
6.
Gluteus-the "apple of the buttock"
7.
Inner gluteal-"Diamond Zone" crucial for emptying the "thong
zone"
8.
Mid-lateral buttock-"C" point between "A" and "B"
9.
Inferior Gluteal/Posterior leg
10.
Upper back
While
this is all very technical, the goal is to achieve an "A" frame by
emptying zones 1-4, 7, 10 and building up area 6 and 8. The goal being to cinch
the waistline and fill out the frame.
With
regards to your specific question, the best way to approach a consultation is
to decide on your frame and then discuss what areas need to be emptied and what
areas need to be augmented.
As
always, discuss your concerns with a surgeon certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgeons.

Hello and Thank you for your question!
You are a great candidate for  a Tummy tuck combined with liposculpture back and waist with a BBL. You will obtain a more hourglass appearance. A curvier body. Speak for a Board  Certified Plastic Surgeon and obtain a complete understanding of the procedures.

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

Based on the photos, you appear to be a good candidate for BBL. This procedure will help you achieve a more contoured and hourglass shape. It is difficult to predict how many cc's are needed, but you appear to have enough fat for a more natural look.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
First I want to congratulate you for making this important decision. Deciding to get an aesthetic procedure to change your body and get a new life style is a big step!
  
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired. Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. For us your safety, always, is going to be first.
  
Have a great day!

Thank you for sharing your photos with us.  We're are always looking forward helping you with your surgery.   The amount of cc for the BBL will most likely depend on the amount localized fat that you have specially on your waist area and back.   You may consider that a important percentage of that fat will reabsorbed after 3 weeks. Generally, most of the patients can achieve good shape with near 1000 cc of fat transferred.
