Could a BBL help hide my broken tailbone and do I have enough fat to have a BBL? (Photos)

Question

I want a BBL I have a fuller butt, wider hips, and hopefully help hide my tailbone. Would all those things be possible, especially with not much fat on my body. I am 5'6" and weigh 120.

Fat injections from a BBL may help disguise the appearance of your broken tailbone a little bit. Do not expect drastic changes. Congrats on being so fit. You have minimal fat but there is a bit around the love handle area. There are other spots fat can be taken from to get enough. You will need to consult with a surgeon in person so she can do a more thorough exam to determine the amount of fat you have and how much correction could actually be achieved. As always, be sure to research who performs your surgery to ensure the best likelihood of a positive result.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested 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

Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your photos it seems like you can benefit from a BBL. However, this may not hide your tailbone. Maximal fat must be harvested without creating any contour deformities. Fat can be harvested from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, etc. and transferred to the hips and buttocks. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced with liposuction to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and facial integrity has remained the same. You will find that the results are very much surgeon dependent. I recommend you to schedule an email or Skype consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear nhyphentash,
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.

I don’t think the BBL is going to camouflage or hide your tailbone but other than that I see no reason why you can’t have a BBL.

Because you are on the thin side you should expect results to be on the subtle side especially if you want to include filling in your hips. Normally I’d like to blend the hips into the thighs but in your case there’s a shortage a fat and it needs to be placed where it’s going to count the most.

In order to get sufficient amounts of fat I recommend liposuction of your entire torso, arms and probably inner thighs.

The results from this procedure very substantially among different providers. I suggest having multiple in person consultations with providers in your area.

Anticipating how much fat can be harvested from Liposuction on a thin person is extremely difficult and definitely requires an examination.

If you had liposuction of all of the above areas my best guess is someone may be able to harvest 1.0-1.6 L so fat. That gives 500-800 mL of fat per side which should be sufficient.  Anything less than 400 mL per side and it may not be a worthy endeavor.

And 10 patients both the liposuction and fat transfer results tend to be more subtle.

If sufficient fat can be harvested then hopefully the fat transfer will be more pronounced.

Best,

Hello,
Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
It is difficult to evaluate the options without seeing photos,

you have a beautiful figure, you have a small amount of fat to be able to achieve your goals, you must increase a little more weight in order to collect the fat and be able to achieve the most curvilinear appearance in your hips.

It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a good evaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.

I hope this answer will help you
My best wishes for you...
