Is a BBL worth it with my loose skin? (Photo)

Deciding whether a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is worth it if you have loose skin depends on several factors, including your specific goals, the condition of your skin, and your overall health.

Even with some loose skin, a BBL can significantly improve the shape and fullness of your buttocks.

A BBL can be worth it even with loose skin, but it may require additional treatments or combination procedures to achieve the best results. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help you understand the options and create a plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Dear Bobbyt83,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction and fat transfer would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question. Regarding your concern about the efficacy of a BBL with your loose skin at the butt, a BBL entails liposuction to remove body fat before transferring it to the buttocks for augmentation. Because of the increased volume in the buttocks due to fat transfer, a BBL frequently results in the skin appearing tense and improves the look of loose skin. Therefore, the quantity of loose skin and the elasticity of the skin determine how successful the BBL is. For the best results, a proper examination is essential by a plastic surgeon to customize the treatment plan according to your needs.

Dear Bobbyt83, thank you for sharing your question. After analyzing your case I can say you look like a good candidate for Vaser Liposuction in your flanks and back, tummy tuck with muscle repair + Ultrasound Guided BBL. This will provide you a good look and shape on your buttocks and fill in to your saggy skin. However, will be good to see your buttocks to better tell. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Thank you for your question. A BBL gives the buttocks a fuller shape but is not always effective on loose skin. According to your photos, I suggest you have moderate skin laxity, in which a BBL alone can enhance the skin's appearance by increasing volume. However, you need to be assessed carefully by a board-certified surgeon to exclude the severe skin laxity at which a BBL alone might not be sufficient to obtain a lifted and tightened appearance.
