Chubby upper body after BBL - what treatment will give me the results I want? (photos)

Question

Ive had a BBL about a year ago and now I'm unhappy with my chubby upper body - especially arms, chin/neck, cheeks. I've lost weight before to adjust but then also lost ALL the volume (and fat) in my butt.... I want to keep the butt but don't want to be so bulky on top - what procedure (surgical or non-surgical) is recommended? I've read about arm lift and bucks fat removal vs coolsclpting but don't feel I'm getting the advice i need.

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

I would highly recommend liposuction and/or arm lift as this will provide the best way to decrease volume and then also address any potential excess skin. I would only recommend liposuction of the upper back (no skin excision). I highly recommend against any non-invasive devices (CoolSculpting etc) as these do not treat the issue adequately.

Thank you for your questions and pictures. If you want additional contouring of other areas I would recommend additional liposuction procedures with the possible addition of BodyTite. 
Hope this helps!

From your photos it appears you can consider liposuction of the areas you mentioned to help slim them down a bit.  You may also be a candidate for BodyTite. Your photos don't indicate you would need an arm lift.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.  An in person evaluation is best so specific recommendations can be given.

Based on these photos, it appears that best option would be liposuction of arms, upper back, sholders. It would be best to discuss this provcedure with a plastic surgeon who does HD liposuction. As for facial areas, in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation, is recommended. Good luck.

Hello !

You could benefit from BodyTite/FaceTite.

BodyTite offers an excellent solution for individuals who desire to reduce excess fat while avoiding saggy, wrinkled skin. It is especially helpful in improving skin laxity following weight loss or as a result of aging. This minimally invasive treatment shapes, tightens, and lifts the skin without incisions or scars, providing surgical-like outcomes with minimal downtime.

FaceTite is a novel procedure that delivers results comparable to those of a surgical facelift, minus the scars. It offers a significant improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck, which was once only achievable through surgical facelifts. FaceTite employs minimally invasive radio-frequency energy to dissolve fat and tighten skin

Of course, an “in person” exam is necessary.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
