Will I get the results I want with a BBL? BMI 28.7, apple shaped body (Photo)

Question

I have had some initial opinions, some said my wish pic is totally possible, some said I might need 2 rounds. I also am concerned because I have broad shoulders, but am hoping better lower proportions even me out. I hold all my weight in midsection/chest. I workout and eat generally well, I also walk everywhere. I weigh 188, I’m thinking losing 10-20 pounds might help for my goal? I do not want a huge butt or a “vixen” look. Just a perky bubbly butt and slight curves.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you liposuction with BBL for betters results.

Thank you for your question and photos. From your photos, you are a good candidate for BBL. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas creating a shape that accentuates your hips & buttocks. Fat transfer to your hips & buttocks will bring out your curves, increase volume in your buttocks and improve shape. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good BBL candidate. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with BBL surgery and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear Amandajohnz,
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.

You are a great candidate for lipo 360/BBL. But no surgeon can ever guarantee results, though I suspect you can achieve the "apple" or "hour-glass" appearances. Expect fees from $6,500-$12,500.

Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Contrary to what you have been told, the transformational procedure does not require a two staging process and can be accomplished with one surgery.

The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight.

You specifically will benefit most from a combination of high definition VASER liposuction, Renuvion J Plasma skin tightening, and excision of your residual skin to achieve your desired results.

One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Weight loss it’s a good place to start. Perhaps eating well it’s not serving your needs that way.

Your wish picture has a completely different body shape to your own and the difference is not because of a different fat distribution.

During consultations look at providers before and after pictures and ask them to show their entire collection up before and after pictures.

Ask them to show you pictures of patients who have similar body characteristics to your own to see what actual results look like.

If you have a short stubby torso then you’re not going to get a long thin torso by having a BBL procedure.

This does not mean you can’t have a BBL or a good results but recognize that procedure only manipulates fat distribution but does not affect musculoskeletal structure which is the primary reason for each persons body contour.

Delivering consistent high-quality Liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe. Even in the hands of the best provider you will look like your body with a BBL which will most likely not look like your wish picture because she has a different body structure.

Continue having consultations until you feel you found the most talented and experienced provider in your community.

During consultations ask providers to show their entire collection of before and after pictures. Providers who have sufficient experience should have no difficulty showing you 50 or more sets of before and after pictures. Truly experienced providers will have hundreds or possibly thousands of before and after pictures for this procedure.

Overdoing liposuction and fat transfer tends to look unnatural and create cartoonish figures that a substantial number of people end up regretting.  Staying true to your own body and working within the constraints of that is key to getting the best results while maintaining something that looks normal and natural.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding the most experienced provider for this procedure.

Different surgeons also have a different philosophies on how a BBL should be performed.

I personally believe in creating a uniform S-curve and I’m not a fan of those who do liposuction of the thigh for the purpose of making the buttocks look larger.  you can’t do all that much about changing your candidacy for the procedure other than needed weight loss. You can however choose who you do the procedure and that is of paramount importance.

Best,

Hello and thanks for your question. It is certainly possible to achieve your desired BBL look. You are a perfect candidate-you have enough fat in your abdomen that would be able to be transferred into your buttock. However, you may need multiple rounds of fat transfer (BBL) to achieve the look in the pictures you posted. A certain amount of fat can only be transferred at one time. Please see a board-certified physician for your consultation. Best of luck to you!
