Thanks so much for your inquire,

Bodybuilders often focus on building muscle mass and achieving a well-defined physique, but they may still have specific aesthetic goals, including enhancing the appearance of their buttocks. A BBL can be tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of bodybuilders, taking into account their existing muscle mass and desired outcomes.

Performing BBL procedures on bodybuilders will take into account the individual's muscular anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure may involve targeted fat grafting techniques to complement the existing muscle definition and create a harmonious overall appearance.

In a BBL, fat is harvested from other areas of the body through liposuction and then injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape. You may have specific areas where prefer fat removal to further accentuate muscle definition while simultaneously enhancing the appearance of the buttocks.

You should be aware that the recovery process following a BBL may temporarily impact your ability to engage in intense physical activities such as weightlifting

By working with a skilled plastic surgeon and having realistic expectations, as a bodybuilder you can achieve your desired aesthetic outcomes while maintaining an active lifestyle.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

For bodybuilders looking to address hip dips, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) can be a suitable option, especially if you have enough fat on your flanks, low back, and inner thighs. A petite BBL can help round out your hips without creating an exaggerated look. Maintaining a stable weight for at least three months post-procedure is typically recommended to ensure the fat sets properly. Discuss your specific goals and the ideal fat donor areas with your surgeon during your consultation to achieve your desired results.

Thank you for your question. Pinchable fat on the flanks, lower back, and inner thighs suggests potential donor sites for fat harvesting. During a consultation, your surgeon will assess these areas to determine if fat transfer is feasible and how much can be done safely. A petite BBL can help round out the hips without creating an overly large buttock size. Excess fat is removed from the donor areas and injected into the hips to enhance the shape and fill the hip dips. To maximize fat survival, it's generally recommended to maintain a consistent weight for three to six months before surgery, as size or weight fluctuations can impact the fat cells' survival after transfer. Consulting with a board-certified surgeon experienced in BBL procedures is important to evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the best approach to achieve results that align with your preferences and appear natural.
