Can a patient add 4 inches to her hips/butt with a BBL?

Typically two to four inches are added, with an equal or more inches lost from the donner site. This shift, more than the number of inches, determines satisfaction. The best way to assure yourself that you will be happy Is to ask to speak to a patient, and then ask the patient (not the Dr. or the staff); how many inches have you gained? Dr.s typically don't keep measurement records, we go by photo results at six months. See a board certified plastic surgeon, who does a ton of Brazilian but lifts, operates at a certified facility, has privilages to do this at a local hospital...and you will be in good hands. Don't be too shy to ask her, or him, how many BBLs have you done... last year? Don't settle for vague answers. All surgeries carry risks and disappointment is the biggest risk in all cosmetic surgery. And remember; cheap isn't always best. 

Your frame will determine the largest result you can possibly obtain.That is also determine in how much fat han be use in your case Make sure you disucss your desires with your surgeon, and he/she will tell you if your expectations can be met. Dont worry so much about the inches. Somethimes less is more Typically, it is not a problem.

Thank you for your question.  In order to determine if you would be a good candidate, you should schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can perform a physical assessment to see if you have enough fat on your body to be transferred to your buttocks to achieve the results you want.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
