Lipo360, no BBL. Will it improve the shape of my butt? (Photo)

Question

Hi I am scheduled in October for lipo360 but I was wondering will it improve the shape of my butt or should I add on a BBL? I don’t want a big butt at all maybe just shape. What I have is more of what I am looking for.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you liposuctionwith BBL for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you need liposuction 360 + renuvion+ BBL your buttock shape will not change otherwise. BBL can be used to shape and not increase size (see my IG).

my whole practice is doing lipoabdominoplasty, or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring).

the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after).

You likely need weight loss and a tummy tuck . based on your decription,  but I suggest posting photos. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Reuvion/IndMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. A fat transfer/BBL could also be considered, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. IF you have loose skin you will need skin removal (abdominoplasty/tummy tuck, bracioplasty/arm lift, thigh lift, body lift etc).  Best, Dr. Emer

Sometimes the full scar needs to be revised and this just entails surgically removing and restitching the scar.  Sometimes the scar plus skin . needs to be removed and that is a revision tummy tuck.  I suggest posting photos and seeing an expert in revision procedures that combine liposuction/fat removal, skin tightening, body shaping/definition, fat grafting and cellulite improvement.   Best, Dr. Emer.

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Dear Cheerful28209,
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.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you are a candidate for 360 liposuction and Fat injection in the buttocks area for an hourglass figure. If you are considering surgery, i advice you to consult with a Board certified plastic surgeon.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Liposuction of other areas will not change the shape of your butt, but removing the excess flank fat will make your butt more noticeable, and you may be very happy with this.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

The BBL will primarily add volume to your bottom. That is what the procedure does. It adds volume.

To get a better understanding of what liposuction can or cannot accomplish I suggest having multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.

Having multiple consultations is a whole lot better than trying to figure out what surgery can do on your own.
