I gain weight very evenly around my body, and appear lighter than I weigh. I’m an hourglass shape, and 195 lbs, though but look closer to 150 lbs. measurements 44-33-45. I am concerned that I’ll reach the max amount of fat removal before enough stomach/ back fat is taken from those areas. BBL is just to improve natural shape. Which type (apple shapes/hourglass/straight/ etc.) benefits most from the procedure, given the 6L limit?

Answer: What body types benefit best from a BBL/lipo? If you are in good health with a BMI in the low 30s, you should be a good candidate for lipo and BBL. Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, thighs, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. If your 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. You have to consider not only which areas will have perhaps the best fat, but also you have to consider which donor sites will have the fewest problems afterward with the liposuction. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred, but, if those sites are not available, other areas can be used. Your genetics, eating habits, metabolic rate and general activity level all impact your anatomy. 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.
