Is it possible to have a more subtle BBL?

Question

It seems like most Bbl results are more of kim kardashian or nicki minaj,Is there any possibility of something similar but small?

Richard H. Tholen, MD, FACS · Answer

Most of the BBL photos you see are Photoshopped exaggerations or early post-op results (before the dead fat reabsorbs).Skillfully done, about half of the grafted fat survives long-term; poorly done (as in great globs of fat "pumped" in (without regard to providing the grafted fat globules with adequate surrounding living tissue to keep the grafts alive by osmosis until blood vessels actually grow into the living fat cells)), most of the fat dies and is removed over 6-12 months. Those early post-op photos belie the true "final" results, which you read about all the time here on RealSelf ("fat melts away" over time), or when you read questions like  "How long do BBL results last?"Again, properly-done, the fat that survives, survives permanently. The fat that dies takes a while for your body to reabsorb cell by cell. That's why every surgeon's results look good at first, but only the best BBL surgeons' results hold up long-term!Thus, understanding this, and choosing your surgeon accordingly, will yield long-term conservative results that may only take a single procedure. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Hi.. thank you for the question... the results of a Brazilian butt Lift procedure will depend on your body fat donor sites and your goals, which you have to explain your surgeon what are you looking for. And Yes it is possible.

Definitely you are the boss on your body and if you want something nice, feminine, elegant, nothing exaggerated, share it with your surgeon and that desire should be accomplished. So be encouraged. You will be loving your results.Dr. Cardenas

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Yes, it is possible. Just be sure to explain your desire results very clear to your surgeon.
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 :)

Jaime Campos Leon, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. You know, it all depends in what you desire and the amount of fat your donor areas can provide. It is also a matter of communication with your surgeon. Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon
