Hello, I am 5' 8", 185 pounds, BMI 28.5, 33 years old. I was a good candidate for a BBL until my medical history came across. I had a mini stroke 3 hears ago, due to overdose of birth control; Now my doctor won't do the BBL on me, even though I am clear from the stroke issue, I got everything checked including my heart inside and out. I am not taking any medication, I don't have any medical problems, I don't smoke. Should I still consider a BBL? Or would Coolsculpting work for me?
Answer: Fat Reduction vs. Buttock Augmentation Thank you for your question and your photos. A BBL is a two-step process that removes fat from one area of the body and transfers it to the buttocks to create more shape and fullness. CoolSculpting is restricted to fat reduction. The treated fat cells crystallize so they can be eliminated through your body’s lymphatic system. They cannot be used for fat transfer. If your primary goal is to reduce fat, CoolSculpting might be a good option, but you would need many sessions. By sculpting some areas of the body, your buttocks might look somewhat fuller. If buttock augmentation is your first priority, you might be a candidate for Sculptra injections. Sculptra could be added to your buttocks should you desire mild to moderate enhancement. I would schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist with expertise in body contouring. Through a discussion of your concerns and goals, and a full rundown of your medical history, your doctor can determine what procedure will be safe and still give you the results you want. You may also be a candidate for tumescent liposuction, which is the safest way to perform liposuction. Sometimes, this procedure can be performed when other methods are deemed unsafe. Please get another consultation with a board-certified dermatologist who performs tumescent liposuction. Then you can utilize the fat for buttock augmentation!

Answer: Is Coolsculpt right for you? Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you may be a good candidate for Coolsculpt, a non-invasive fat reduction treatment. You'll most likely need multiple sessions of Coolsculpt to achieve your desired result. If you're also looking for a more sculpted buttocks, you'll need to look into additional services- Coolsculpt will not address that concern. There are many non-invasive butt lift options such as electomagnetic therapy or fillers. I recommend an in person evaluation with your local expert provider- they will determine the best treatment plan for your concern. Good luck.

Answer: CoolSculpting Candidate Hi There, Thank you for your question and pictures. CoolSculpting is a procedure focused on removing stubborn pockets of fat. It would not provide the same results as a BBL. You may want to consider CoolTone. This treatment builds muscle and makes the butt fuller and lifted. Please consult with a local physician in person to determine if you are a candidate. Best of luck!

Forget about Coolsculpting the procedure that would better contour you and also provide you with a BBL is Vaser Lipo 360 gluteal contouring and Fat transfer. When considering having these procedures consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Certified by the American Board of Plastic Ssurgery.
