Do I need a tummy tuck or can I just get lipo and BBL? Age 28, no kids, 176cm, 78kg. (photos)

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to tell from your pictures if you are a good candidate for a BBL. I suggest uploading better pictures, front back and side. Otherwise, I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Based on your photos you should be fine with just the liposuction. You have good skin quality, minimal rectus diastasis, minimal stretch marks and no skin overhang.

Great question. In a patient that’s only 28 years old with no kids, I would not jump to a tummy tuck right off the bat; especially in a patient that’s prone to keloids. Your photos do not appear to be that bad at all. I would consider j plasma for skin tightening along with your liposuction in fat transfer procedure. What I tell my patients is this; you can always go and do a tummy tuck later, if you choose to. However, you cannot reverse it once you perform it. That said, you should be OK if you are not opposed to continuing to have a little bit of skin laxity…

Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures you appear to be good candidate for intense liposuction and 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,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear Pashmakevanili,
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.

Thank you for your question and pictures. If you don't have children and you're planning to in the future, I suggest getting liposuction and wait after having children for the Tummy Tuck. Images are a little blurry and it doesn't seem like you need one now.

Please remember you will need a personal evaluation for a more accurate diagnosis.
