Is it possible to have a more subtle BBL?

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

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 :)

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

Yes, that is an issue that should be discussed with your surgeon in order to assure realistic expectations and have a good result that is acceptable by the patient. Most of the times the opposite is the case in which patients request a result that could not be achieved because of lack of fat to be transferred. In your case that should not be the case if you are a good candidate. Seek a plastic surgeon who
performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an
expert in this field.

Yes, quite often subtle refinement can be done. Not all patients want large enhancements. Some are like you in opinion.  Good luck.

Your butt, your choice.  See a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who has a lot of experience in the buttock enhancement space and ask for what you want.
