Am I a good candidate for a "skinny" BBL? (Photo)

Hi,
You would be a good candidate for reshaping of the buttock. A physical exam would identify any areas that have excess fat as well as the low back which is routinely liposuctioned. Fullness of the low back can give the appearance of a very tall "square" buttock that lacks proper shape and curves. The fat taken from your low back, sides of the waist, etc., can be added to the side of the buttock to provide more pleasing curves not necessarily large volume. Find a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure and you should be satisfied with the results. Good luck.

A skinny BBL can be possible in selected patients, but the limiting factor is usually how much usable fat can be safely harvested and how much change you expect. A prior tummy tuck does not automatically rule it out, but it can reduce or change the abdominal donor area because of scar tissue and altered skin/tissue planes. The surgeon would need to examine your abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, skin quality, and scars before saying whether enough fat is available.

In the photos, you appear to have a lean frame with relatively limited obvious donor fat, so the realistic goal would likely be a subtle shape improvement rather than a large-volume buttock augmentation, though photos are not a substitute for an exam. If you want a noticeable increase, your surgeon may discuss whether fat grafting alone is enough, whether weight gain is appropriate, or whether other options are safer. The most important points are avoiding over-harvesting and keeping expectations realistic.

thanks so much for your inquire

the best way to determine if you're a good candidate for a "skinny" BBL is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring procedures. During the consultation, your surgeon can evaluate your candidacy, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for achieving your desired results.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Thanks for your question. Based on your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a skinny BBL. A BBL requires 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. In addition, 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. That said, you may be required to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear danswoman85,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes you are! It just depends on your expectations. Your results probably wont be dramatic, but even if they are not, it will still be an improvement. If this is good for you, or if you are not going for a vixen look, then you will be happy with your results.

Lipo will help reshape your abs, back and waist. Then, all of the lipoed fat will be used for the bbl. This means that you will get a size increase and maybe even more importantly, a shape enhancement. Your hips to waist ratio will improve giving you and an overall nicer look!

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Dear danswoman85, thanks for sharing your concern, after analize your case, you look ;like a great candidate for vaser liposuction from flanks, back, abdomen and ultrasound guided BBL. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

It is very likely that you would have benefit of BBL. A limited amount of fat available for harvest may be quite sufficient for your needs. However, you need a true expert to achieve this goal. Good luck.

I answered your question yesterday. Thank you for the additional posted photos. Based on these photos, you are an excellent candidate for VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 degrees and fat transfer to the buttocks for enhancement and shaping. You do have significant hip depression from the front as well, which would need to be corrected to create an hourglass figure. The frontal photo does not show an athletic abdomen, this can be improved significantly. These surgeries I do in our accredited in office surgery suite under deep intravenous sedation. You have one chance to get the best possible result based on your muscle and bony anatomy. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation evaluation. Good luck.

Dear danswoman,
You are a perfect candidate for a BBL, skinny or otherwise. Seek consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon if you don't already have one. Good luck!
