BBL or butt implants? which procedure would help me achieve my desired look? (photos)

Question

Hello, I am getting a BBL next year and want to make sure it's the best fit for me. I am 128 pounds and 5'1. I am very flat from behind and lack hips. I want to make sure i'm getting the right procedure for me so I achieve the look I want. Photos A and B is the idea of the body I want. Photos C, D, and E are my body currently.

Thank you for sharing your pictures and wish pics. Based on them, you are a great candidate for liposuction and BBL. The fat should be transferred to the hips and entire buttocks to sculpt your buttocks. Lipo 360 would also be recommended to shape your entire body. Remember, everybody is different (bone structure, etc.), so you will not have the same exact silhouette as the person in your wish pics.

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good BBL candidate. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. This helps contour your waist and give you an hourglass figure, and the transferred fat will add projection to your buttocks. In addition, if you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body for fat transfer to the buttocks, such as the upper arms and chin. Depending on your desired results, you may be asked to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear ingridramosb,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.
