I have an indentation on my right buttocks. Will a BBL fix this? (photos)

Thank you for your question and pictures.
Yes, it can be fixed with a fat transfer.
If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for.

Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures it looks like can be result with a BBL. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Dear Mar_bonita83,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from fat transfer. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

The indentation is caused by either connective tissue anchoring the skin to the underlying muscle layer or scar tissue doing the same thing. It is not a volume deficit and adding volume with fat transfer will most likely not correct this and could potentially make it worse.

The indentation is the same principle that causes cellulite.

The best analogy is a button on tufted furniture pulling in on the fabric. The more padding that’s put in the furniture the more the tufting becomes prominent.

You can still have liposuction and BBL if you’d like but don’t expect it to fix the contour irregularity.

For cellulite the best treatment is Subsicion this can be done with a device called Celfina. I’m not sure if that is an option in your case because of the overall size of the indentation. These are not simple things to correct.

Expect to hear different opinions from different providers.

Yes, this can be resolved with a BBL. Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). 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. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. 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.
