For most patients who have lost massive weight, the usual first line of attack is a circumferential body lift. Most plastic surgeons refer to a body lift as a circumferential body lift = belt lipectomy = lower body lift. This procedure is essentially 3 procedures in one: extended tummy tuck + waist/lateral thigh lift + buttock lift (with the option of buttock augmentation). This Buttock augmentation is different and not the same as a BBL. A physical exam would be needed to make any recommendations. Please visit with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to learn more about your options.Best wishes,Dr. BasuHouston, TX
A lower body lift and and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can be performed together. A body lift is basically a tummy tuck that wraps all the way around the body into the hips and buttocks. A BBL is a fat transfer into the buttocks to make them more full. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon to help with the planning of this procedure.
