I lost around 20 lbs and my butt is still saggy and droopy, is a BBL the right option for me? (Photos)

Question

I go to the gym 4x a week, I lost around 20 lbs &my butt I'm still saggy and droopy... I'm considering a BBL but want to be sure this is the correct procedure for me. Thoughts? I'm 5'3, 164 lbs so yes i still have more weight to lose i know that but will a bbl correct this issue? The pics i attached are my butt currently. The next is a photo edited to how i am wanting my butt to look The next one is my belly/butt from the side to show I do still have fat to lose.

I think BBL can definitely help round things out for you. I'm not sure your wish pic is 100% realistic but I think it could be pretty close. It would take formal consultation to determine exactly what could be done.

Hi there!
Of course an in person consultation will be necessary to give an accurate answer, however it does look like you'd be a good candidate for a BBL. A BBL would allow your surgeon to inject fat strategically to fill in some hollow areas and build projection. A BBL can address the square shape of your hips and transform it to a nice hourglass figure.
You will want to be at your ideal, stable weight before surgery. 
Congrats on the weightless thus far!

Based on these photos, you seem to be good candidate for BBL with current weight. However, only on the basis of in person evaluation, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in this procedure, can address all relevant issues properly. Good luck.

Miguel Mota, MD · Answer

The simple answer is definitely yes! Hi, and thank you for posting your photos, but it’s hard to fully evaluate you without seeing your full back and front. In any case, I do not think you need to lose much weight because we still want to have enough fat for the bbl.

As far as your wish pic, I feel this is very achievable. A bbl is often used to enhance the butt shape and not only to increase its size. I you like, I believe we can do both in your case.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Dear kkvelle89,
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.

Hi kkvelle89

The procedure is performed to enhance the buttock by transferring fat from areas that you might not want it ( such as the abdomen, waist, and thighs ) to the buttock to give it a more uplifted, rounder, and shapelier appearance. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

The truth is that for the vast majority of patients, two hours in the operating room will produce a change in body contours that cannot be achieved by a lifetime in the gym. There are variations on buttlifts. You may be a very good candidate for the BBL which would involve liposuction of your lower back, sides, and abdomen and transfer of that fat to the buttocks for lift, better shape, and increased projection. Consult via email or Skype with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in butt lifts.

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

A BBL will not create the change in shape you have depicted on your pictures.

To get that change you need a tuck which requires removing skin and will leave somewhat of a scar. Dr. Mendieta in Miami Florida has a good YouTube video on this topic. I believe he refers to the procedure as the Miami thong lift.  If you come find the video I suggest watching it because it describes the assessment, procedure and outcomes well.

Simply adding fat is not going to bring up the droopiness  of your central lower buttocks.

Keep up the good work with all the exercise and weight loss.

Best,
