I'm considering getting a BBL, which includes lipo to the arms, upper and lower back, flanks, and abdomen (or the 360 approach). I'm wondering if it's possible to also add on lipo to my arms and inner thighs? Or is there a restriction to how much/where someone can get lipoed in one sitting? I'm fairly athletic, 5'5" and 138 lbs. I hold most of my weight in my thighs, flanks, and brarolls, but my arms do bother me and I'd also like to have them done.
Answer: BBL candidate Dear NikkaM808,yes, you can have liposuction of all above mentioned areas. 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.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Can you do a BBL as well as thigh and arm lipo all in one surgery? Thank you for your pictures and questions. While several areas can be liposuctioned at once, it is usually best to keep under 5 liters of liposuction in one sitting for safety reasons. Based on your pictures, I am not so concerned about your procedure but your expectations regarding a BBL. You are quite slender and do not have much in the way of fat grafting donor sites. You need to be careful that you have reasonable expectations regarding results and make sure that in an effort to obtain fat graft, you do not get over suctioned and result in contour deformities. Be careful and only trust your case to experienced plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Hope this helps!

Answer: Can you do a BBL as well as thigh and arm lipo all in one surgery? Thank you for your question. When planning a Brazilian butt lift, patients can look forward to a double benefit: reducing areas of unwanted fat while gaining a perkier, rounded posterior. Each procedure must be planned according to the individual needs of patients, harvesting fat from target areas of the torso, arms, thighs or knees and transferring it to create smooth, attractive contours optimized for each person. The amount of fat transferred from love handles or flanks depends on the quantity available and the extent of buttock augmentation each patient desires. Sufficient body fat for a buttock augmentation is very patient-specific, depending on an individual’s body shape and proportions as well as their expectations. While you can liposuction several areas at once there is a limit to how much fat can be removed safely. Risks from liposuction increase significantly when over 5 liters of fat are suctioned out. We usually stay below this limit for patient safety.
