Am I an ideal candidate for a BBL? 22 y/o, 4'11 (photo)

Thanks for your question. It's difficult to provide a proper recommendation without pictures of your front and side as well because I can't see the liposuction areas. Typically for a BBL, we perform liposuction on the abdomen, flanks and back for fat transfer to the buttocks. I recommend uploading pictures for your front and side for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your inquiry concerning your suitability for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure. To provide a comprehensive evaluation, it is necessary to examine images of both the anterior and posterior aspects of your body. This will enable us to determine the extent of excess skin and adipose tissue in the abdominal region.

Based on the posterior image you provided, it appears that you have a combination of surplus skin and fat. Removing the fat alone could result in residual excess skin, which may not be aesthetically desirable. However, considering your youth and the apparent good quality of your skin, there is a possibility that your skin will naturally retract following fat removal.

The presence and extent of excess skin and fat in the anterior region will impact the outcome of liposuction. In some cases, patients may be dissatisfied with residual excess skin and choose to undergo additional procedures, such as an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, to achieve their desired results. To facilitate a more precise evaluation, kindly submit another inquiry with images of your anterior aspect.

I strongly encourage you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who possesses extensive experience in performing BBL procedures. I wish you the best of luck in your journey towards aesthetic enhancement.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you appear to be good candidate for this procedure. I would love to see front and sides pictures to provide a better evaluation. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear analisas,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question and photo. Front and side view photos would've helped. Based on this photo, you do have significant amount of fat to transfer to the buttocks for enhancement and shaping. You do have a square buttock (as per Mendieta classification) and visually a very high or long buttock. Best results are obtained with liposuction 360 degrees and fat transfer to give the best hourglass figure based on your muscle and bony anatomy. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Hello !

Based on your pictures, it looks like you are an excellent candidate for a BBL.

An « in person » consultation is necessary to discuss your goals and what is achievable with that procedure.

It is best to consult with a skilled plastic surgeon for the best results.

I hope this helps,
Best of luck !

It appears you are a great candidate for a BBL. You would benefit from liposuction 360 especially of the back to smooth out your rolls. This would also give you a better hourglass shape. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!

The fun part about a BBL is that it combines Liposuction and Fat grafting . If you have a goal to remove some of the excess fat from your body through contouring it with Liposuction, grafting it into the buttocks, thereafter, is often a nice adjunct to improve the aesthetics of the buttocks. You appear to be a good candidate. Understand that each person is different, and there may be limitations to the amount of fat that can be removed as well as the amount of fat that can be grafted. This is a great conversation to have with your board-certified plastic surgeon. We are happy to help in any way we can.

Hello,I would like to advise you that, based on your high BMI, which is in proximity to the obesity range, it is recommended that you undergo an evaluation to determine your eligibility for the procedure. It is vital to acknowledge that having a high BMI can elevate the risk of complications during and after surgery. Thus, it is advisable to consider weight loss prior to any cosmetic procedures to reduce potential risks.Hope this help!Kind regards,Dr Bukret

I don’t use the BBL as a buttocks procedure, but rather one more tool in contouring the torso and enhancing an ideal, female, S-curve that goes from the arm pit to just above the knee. To make an assessment, we need quality pictures of the body in a upright, standing position, showing the front, side and backside cropped, showing the body from the neck to just below the knees. The buttocks only looks the way it does in relationship to the thighs and torso.
You do have skin elasticities or skin laxity, and this lessons, your candidacy, at least for Liposuction. Do you have hip dips so filling in lateral volume in this area with fat grafting would be a benefit. The BBL is in fact, two procedures done at the same time. Liposuction and fat transfer. To be assessed for fat transfer procedures requires meaning being assessed for both Liposuction and fat transfer, since it is a combined procedure. The ideal candidate will be an ideal candidate for both Liposuction and fat transfer.
These procedures are not easy to do well, and the number of plastic surgeons who can deliver consistent quality. Predictable results is relatively few. I suggest patients before more selective than they ever thought necessary, and have enough in person consultations until you feel very confident you found a sufficiently talented and experienced provider delivering the type of results you’re looking for. Ask providers to show you before, and after pictures of previous patients who have very similar body characteristics to your own. Ask each provider specifically when after pictures were taken in relationship to the date of the procedure. After pictures should never be taken before 3 to 6 months from the date of surgery. An experience provider should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets of before, and after pictures of commonly performed procedures like the BBL. I do not recommend patients have virtual consultation, and I do not recommend traveling long distances for elective surgical procedures. I recommend patient start by having at least five in person, consultations and consider the need to schedule more.
Doing these procedures, well is far more difficult than most people think. The number of plastic surgeons who have mastered the BBL procedure is relatively few.Best,
