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.

Hello darling,

You look like a good candidate for a BBL and you will get really good results. Make sure you go on a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Hope this helps and best of lucks.

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.
