Is it possible to get liposuction of love handles and lower back fat instead of BBL?

These days it seems impossible to imagine liposuction without the requisite fat transfer that has become ubiquitous on the front pages of the tabloids. But liposuction (without fat transfer) has been a mainstay of body contouring for many years.
Liposuction is one of the most common, as well one of the most commonly misunderstood cosmetic procedures performed by plastic surgeons. Liposuction, or suction assisted lipectomy (SAL) as it is also known, allows a surgeon to contour a patient’s shape and address those areas resistant to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss procedure and is best performed on patients who are at or near their target weight. Common target areas include:
Abdomen/Flanks (“love handles”)Hips/Thighs/LegsUpper armsBackButtocksWith regards to your specific question, liposuction is still commonly performed independent of fat grafting. Additionally, liposuction of the lower back (along the lumbar curvature) has the added benefit of creating the illusion of a buttock augmentation by unmasking a previously concealed curve. There are two ways to address a contour: augment the hill or deepen the valley. Addressing one will consequently change the other (i.e. emptying the lower back and accentuating the superior curvature enhances the buttock).
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Although an examination is always helpful, liposuction of the love handles usually produces a very nice result.  The love handles can be liposuctioned while blending the liposuction into the abdomen to prevent irregularity. Liposuction of the lower back can improve the shape and projection of the buttocks but will not enhance them as a BBL would.
