Do I have enough fat for desired projection BBL? (Photo)

Thanks for your question. You seem to be a good candidate for the BBL judging from your pictures. Our BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. I recommend you seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in performing BBL procedures and clean credentials. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Because you had a kind of aggressive liposuction  before and your abdomen is already very lumpy and irregular and also your lower back where you also had an aggressive liposuction, you do NOT have virgin fat to create a dramatic change on your shape and either a large amount of fat to harvest to transfer a large amount of fat and make a huge difference The volume you already got looks very nice in your buttocks,  so the ONLy virgin areas which I may consider may be improved and be a source will be upper back and inner thighs and to be honest not a large volume to harvest and either a tiny waist is realistic. It is difficult to determine in photos if you would be candidate for Tummy Tuck, it seems a lot of fibrosis. Dr. Cardenas 

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos alone you appear to be a good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift with liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back and achieve a curvier silhouette. In terms of getting your waist as narrow as your wish pic, this may not be realistic as it would depend on your anatomy and in order to determine this, you'd need to be examined in person. Kamran Azad MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear dswldc,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.

Thank you for your question and pictures, it looks like you are a great candidate for liposuction of front, sides, upper and lower back with fat transfer to buttocks, always see a board certified PS.

It looks like you might be a great candidate for this procedure. But it's best to see a board certified plastic surgeon in person to make sure that the procedure is right with you. Discuss you goals and expectations with your surgeon openly and honestly and he or she will tell you if they are realistically achievable. Good luck!

Hi,  
Thank you for the question and pictures, based on the information and pictures you provided you are a great candidate for Liposuction with a Fat Transfer. Liposuction will help reshape your body and enhance your curves. Once the fat is harvested it will be placed on the buttock area to give you more projection. It's best you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to go over your results that way you can make your decision. Best of luck!  

A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. After a successful Brazilian Butt lift, the fat that remains will stay there for the rest of your life. Like the rest of the tissue in your body this fat will grow and age with you.Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon.

You would be a candidate for a BBL but you would not be as large as your wish pic with one procedure. Some patients gain weight after their BBL and most of their fat ends up in their buttocks. The feeling is that the transplanted fat retains the characteristics of the place of origin. If one takes fat from the waist thighs and tummy (these areas retain fat during weight gain) and place it in the buttocks, then when one gains weight after surgery the transplanted fat tends to be the first to grow. It appears from your pictures that you would need a tummy tuck. There are different tummy tucks depending on your skin laxity. Mini scar tummy tuck removes minimal skin but suctions out fat and tightens the muscle. A moderate scar tummy tuck is the above with the removal of more skin. A full tummy tuck is used with patients with a lot of loose skin. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.
