Hello! I plan to get a BBL in August 2024. I am 41 years old, 5’8, 150lbs. My current BMI (according to my at home BF scale) is 23.2. I am wanting a BBL to thin out my waist and get rid of my love handles as well as to add volume and projection to my butt. I would also like my hip dips corrected or at the very least made less prominent. Based on my pics am I a good candidate for a BBL or would I require a BBL 360? Is my “wish” photo unrealistic?

Answer: Skinny BBL Candidate Thanks for your question. Based on your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for the BBL. A BBL requires 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. In addition, if you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body for fat transfer to the buttocks, such as the upper arms and chin. That said, you may be required to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: BBL or BBL 360? am I a good candidate? Hi @520cc, thank you for your question. Tummy tuck combined with liposculture 360 can give you the best results. A lipectomy to remove the excess of skin and tense abdomen muscles and liposculture as a body contouring procedure to define more your abdomen and waistline. Together, these procedures will give you a more defined and slim appearance. I would encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon will be able to assess your unique needs and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: BBL or BBL 360 Dear 520cc, 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.
