Can a BBL reshape an already big butt? (photo)

Question

I don’t like fat pockets in the saddlebag and underbutt area. But I also want more fullness in the upper butt and V region. Would this make my cellulite worse. Would skin become loose?

Thanks for your question. You appear to be a good candidate for a brazilian butt lift. When planning a Brazilian butt lift, patients can look forward to a double benefit: reducing areas of unwanted fat while gaining a perkier, rounded posterior.  Each procedure must be planned according to the individual needs of patients, harvesting fat from target areas of the torso, thighs or knees and transferring it to create smooth, attractive contours optimized for each person.That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

A BBL procedure reduces fat in targeted areas and repositions the removed fat into a more desirable location, essentially reshaping the entire figure.  During a BBL, the areas of liposuction will become smaller and the fat removed from the liposuction areas will be used to fill out dips in the hips and make the buttocks larger or rounder in order to create an overall new, curvier shape.
It is very important to select a board certified plastic surgeon that is skilled in body contouring procedures.  As always, read reviews and look for before/after photos that show the look that you would like to achieve with your own surgery.

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.
A BBL is a part procedure.  Part 1 is liposculpture and that does the majority of the reshaping into an hour glass heart shaped butt.  Part 2 is Fat Transfer which is the fine tuning shaping and volume procedure.  I hope that helps!  Best of Luck!

The BBL results are highly surgeon dependent. Some plastic surgeons can do almost anything and change the shape of anything. You have to be creative. There are some anatomic limits, but, for the most part, dramatic transformations can be achieved. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of BBLs each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results you are seeking.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are a good candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results, based on you goals.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back, hips and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful 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 30 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 :)

Hello, thank you for your inquiry
Based on your photos you're a great candidate for the procedure. A complete liposuction of abdomen, flanks and lower back would be ideal to remove excess fat deposits in those areas. With the harvested fat you will give volume and shape to your buttocks. I would suggest you to consult certified plastic surgeon who after examination will give you more information and recommendations.
Sincerely, Jaime Campos MD

Thank you for your question. The answer for you is yes. You appear to be a great candidate for a BBL. BBL is a very personalized procedure that is more about contouring than just making the buttocks bigger. Make sure that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can show you many examples of his or her work that is consistent with what you are looking for. Good luck.

BBL is not just for making buttucks cheeks larger; in fact, half of our butt surgery patients have their butt remain the same size or even be made smaller. It is all about reshaping your butt with an artistic eye.You are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). 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 ban 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.
