Brazilian butt lift for gymnast/dancer?

Thanks for your question. I suggest you upload pictures for a proper evaluation. After 6 months, a bbl patient should be able to return to their normal physical routine. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

In general, if you have stubborn areas of fat, a little bit is enough to make a difference in changing your shape. I perform a lot of skinny BBL‘s and I recommend that you find someone that does the same. Obviously, it’s difficult to tell without any photos or examining you in person, but in general, if you have some fat to work with, it can make a big difference. I have done several athletes in the same situation, and when they started performing their activities, they still maintained their shape. It does obviously vary from person to person, and I recommend a consultation to see if you are a candidate. Hope this helps!

Dear lashlash,
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.

Hello @lashlash, thank you for your question. It is important to consider the indications of the specialist with whom the surgery will be performed. In my opinion, Once fully recovered, generally around the 6-month mark most people can resume their usual activities. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD.

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Without examining you, knowing your BMI or seeing photos its difficult to give specific advice but if you are concerned you are on the thinner side and wont have enough fat you can discuss a skinny BBL with a local specialist or consider something like the liquid butt lift. It's important to note that if you are going for a filler based butt lift you should use hyaluronic acid based filler rather than sculptra. Sculptra is pushed hard but it doesnt really add volume, it just temporarily thickens the skin and the immediate effect seen in various social media posts showing an on the table difference is usually just because of the volume of the saline that gets injected with the sculptra. Hope that helps!

Going to be limited during the recovery of the procedure, both from swelling tenderness, and from instructions to protect the grafted fat.
A lot of the discomfort and swelling will have subsided by six weeks and by three months your results should be final and you should be back to doing full activity.
I suggest having multiple in person consultations at which time you can talk about your candidacy, the procedure, including recovery, and what that’s like. Delivering consistent quality, Liposuction and fat transfer a result is more difficult than most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons to mastered these procedures are in a small minority.
If done poorly, these procedures can leave people permanently disfigured.
The importance of finding the right provider cannot be over emphasize.
To do that, I recommend patience of multiple in person consultations. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics to your yourself.
An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before, and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Being shown a handful of pre-selected images, representing the best results of a providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider or how many of these procedures they’ve actually done. There are very different approaches to how the BBL is done and not all of them are desirable natural or give quality outcomes.
The simple interpretation of what an attractive, female figure it should look like it’s very subjective and plastic surgeons apply their skills differently based on their own interpretation. Being board-certified in plastic surgery with an overall good reputation and years of experience does not mean somebody has necessarily good aesthetic judgment, or is good at any one single procedure, especially complex procedures, like body contouring, including Liposuction and fat transfer.
Considering how much variation there is a Liposuction Inc, fat, transfer skill and experience among plastic surgeons I suggest patients consider having at least five in person consultations before choosing a provider. I recommend avoiding virtual consultations whenever possible, and I recommend avoiding traveling long distances when possible for elective surgical procedures.
Best,
