Do I need a brazilian butt lift? (Photos)

Question

I would like to know more about them and would like to see if you recommend me to have one

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEPOBRAS · Answer

A BBL is not simply a bigger butt procedure; it usually combines liposuction of the waist, flanks, back, or abdomen with fat transfer to change the waist-to-hip and buttock contour. I reviewed your photos; they show some existing buttock fullness and projection, but the views are limited and do not show enough of your waist, abdomen, or donor areas to say whether a BBL is the right choice. If your goal is subtle shaping, liposuction contouring alone or even no surgery may be reasonable. If you want more upper or outer hip fullness, fat transfer could be considered only if you have enough donor fat and good skin quality.

An in-person exam should look at BMI, medical history, fat availability, buttock skin quality, hip dips or asymmetry, and how much volume would look natural on your frame. If you do choose a BBL, safety matters more than size: it should be done by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who injects fat only in the subcutaneous layer, preferably using ultrasound guidance and current gluteal fat-grafting safety standards. The best plan may be contouring, conservative fat transfer, or no BBL depending on your anatomy and goals.

Dear bonzac,

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.

Yes you are a candidate for a BBL. It appears you have a nice shape already with a good waist but have fatty deposits in the flanks and love handles and key area that could be transferred to your gluteal area giving you more hips, a nice shape and a rounder, fuller butt.

A BBL is a body contouring procedure consisting of both liposuction and fat grafting. To make an assessment we need to see your body from your neck to your knees. 
Look at how plastic surgeons take before and after pictures for this procedure. 
Results vary substantially based on who does the procedure.
