Is a BBL without a Tummy tuck possible? (Photos)

While a BBL can include a tummy tuck it is not necessary and in my office usually advised against in order to have a more comfortable recovery (you can't sleep on your back after a BBL and you can't sleep on your stomach after a tummy tuck).  The BBL procedure includes liposuction of the stomach, love handles, back/bra-roll or any other area that has excess fat and then redistribution of the removed fat into your buttock and thighs.  Since the procedure is going to thin out/reduce the size of your waistline and upper body and add volume to your butt and hips, it is a body contouring procedure designed to give you an overall more curvier appearance. As always, seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon who has the experience, reviews, and photos to get you the look you want.

In most cases, liposuction and BBL can performed even if TT is indicated.  If you have loose skin before the BBL, liposuction will not improve the skin laxity.  There are some patients I have liposuctioned who look like TT candidates before liposuction who have avoided the TT, but I do not promise that to patients. Healing is multifactorial and not entirely predictable.Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of BBLs each year to discuss your current BMI, and liposuction of abdomen, back, and bra rolls.  If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same.  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 and read patient reviews. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, it is possible to have liposuction and BBL with no tummy tuck, but you might have some loose skin left.
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 :)

Thank you very much for posting so many pictures.
I believe you are an excellent candidate for both procedures. I hear the same question very often. My answer in your case is:
1) if you do Liposuction alone, certainly should prefer VASER and still accept you have an higher risk of anterior contour irregularities: you might not notice them mush.
2) the abdominal wall will need a Liposuction either way.
A proper clinical assessment of your skin quality and skin/fat ratio will be essential to answer this question. Please do not base any decision on advices based on pictures only.
I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you for your question and the photos. To get the best result you really need a full TT as well together with lipo and the BBL. You have a lot of excess skin on your abdomen which will only get worse if we do ipo there and it will not be flat but wrinkles in the end. You need the TT for theflat abdomen , the lipo for the fat of the BBL and to curve your body and to enhance the results of your BBL . Best of luck

Thank you for your photos and question. It is possible to have a BBL with no tummy tuck, but you need to remember that liposuction does not treat the loose skin in the abdomen region. BBL will help you achieve a more contoured and hourglass shape. Seek a board certified plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Hello dear, thank you for your question and pictures.
The answer is yes, a BBL is possible to perform without a tummy tuck, because we get the BBL fat from the liposuction, now in your case i suggest for you to do a full tummy tuck combine with a 360 liposuction + BBL, because if we only lipoaspirate your abdomen the skin laxity is going to get bigger than the benefit the liposuction will give you. Make sure to approach to a certified surgeon to clear all your doubts.

Best wishes!

Hello and thank you for your question and your pictures. 
Although you would best be served with an in person examination from your pictures it seems you would be a candidate for a BBL and body contouring. However, without doing a tummy tuck, you must understand that the recoil of your belly skin will be a determining factor in how flat your belly gets after liposuction. 
I recommend you seek a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery for a consultation. Make sure they address all your concerns about liposuction and BBL as well as the pros and cons of a tummy tuck for you including the risks and benefits of the procedures, recovery time and postoperative course.
I believe a key component of the consultation is to establish a good connection with your plastic surgeon. If you don’t feel you have a good connection after your consultation then they may not be the best surgeon for you.
Good luck!

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!

Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired.

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!
