Are my Brazilian Butt Lift expectations realistic/achievable? (photos)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for the procedure, but its success will depend on how much fat you have to donate. Your current BMI is around 25, which may lend itself to a great result. The amount of hip projection is often dependent not only on fat, but also how tight the area is and whether it will allow enough graft to meet your goals. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good BBL candidate. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience in with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures you appear to be a good candidate for this procedure. What I suggest you is Full body intense liposuction including stomach, waist, flanks, outer thighs and banana rolls to improve the buttocks and hips view, also take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear nosequestionz,
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.

Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Your desired results can be achieved through a combination of high definition liposuction of your flanks and lower back followed by fat grafting to your buttock and lateral hips. Factoring into account potential skin redundancies and your skin texture, Renuvion J Plasma skin tightening technology can be used to provide your desired results.

The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Peoples inherent body shape is primarily determined by skeletal structure not by fat distribution.

Fat manipulation to mimic someone with a different skeletal structure it’s only going to be effective to a certain degree.

This procedure has more exaggerated results floating around the Internet than any other plastic surgery procedure by far.

Both patients and providers seem to be motivated to show extreme results that are in reality rarely obtainable if ever.

These pictures seem to have a life of the wrong and be forwarded more and more through social media.

I suggest looking at plastic surgeons websites and look at before and after pictures of patients who look like you in the before pictures.

If you average the results of those pictures then you’ll have a pretty good idea of what your results most likely will look like.

Recognize that plastic surgeons typically only post their very best results and for every posted picture there’s often lots of pictures of results that didn’t look nearly as good.

There’s lots of talented providers and there are indeed many excellent BBL results out there. Delivering consistent high-quality Liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than people believe.

I suggest you focus your effort on finding the most experienced and talented provider in your community.

The best way to do that is the schedule numerous in person consultations.

During consultations ask each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures for the BBL procedure. This will give confirmation of how many of these procedures that performed and what less than average an average results look like.

Providers who cannot demonstrate at least 50 before and after pictures should be considered as somewhat inexperienced.

Highly experienced providers will have hundreds or possibly thousands of before and after pictures for this single procedure.

There are certainly plenty of plastic surgeons delivering quality BBL results who haven’t done 1000 BBL‘s butt typically those who deliver the best results have been doing the procedure consistently well for a long time.

The second valuable I suggest you consider his reading all the reviews on various physician review websites and avoid providers with any significant number of justified negative reviews.

The absence of justified negative reviews tends to be far more telling than abundance of positive reviews.

Best,

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I note a full abdomen, flanks and hips. Abdominal fullness may be due to the presence of excess subcutaneous fat, stretching of the abdominal musculature following pregnancy or significant weight loss, or the presence of visceral fat ( fatty deposits among your internal organs). One cannot differentiate among these entities without a physical examination.Significant improvement can be achieved following a BBL. However, your postoperative depictions may not be physically possible. The surgical result is limited by the shape of your underlying musculoskeletal system.Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...
