CoolSculpting + Cooltone? Or BBL? Or something else? (Photos)

Question

Hi! Overall I feel strong and healthy. But even when I was much more slim in my late teens I had a square behind. I have a large bum but it looks wide and square from behind. I’m hoping for more of an hourglass figure and it’s not something I’ve been able to do with workouts alone. Would less invasive procedures such as CoolSculpt and CoolTone would help shape me? Or would that just create a slimmer square/rectangle look? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your question and photos. From your photos, you are a good candidate for BBL. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas creating a shape that accentuates your hips & buttocks. Fat transfer to your hips & buttocks will bring out your curves, increase volume in your buttocks and improve shape. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Hi! I believe CoolSculpting and Cooltone have their place. But they can only do so much. Maybe make you a bit slimmer. 
The reality is nothing sculpts, reshapes and enhances a body like liposuction and a BBL. 
I understand that you already have a nice size, but a BBL doesn’t always have to be about size. Shaping and filling out the butt and hips is just as important for a nice silhouette! You are actually a great patient for 360 lipo plus Fat Grafting!

Best of luck,

Dear Eclectic19030,
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, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for BBL which is the gold standard for providing ideal and long lasting shape to the lower torso and buttock/hip. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review all your options and pick the right one for you. I hope this helps.
