Hip augmentation or BBL? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question and pictures. Based on your them and goals, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) would be a suitable option. A BBL involves liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas, such as the back, arms, and stomach, and then transferring that fat to desired areas, like the hips or buttocks. Given your wish to focus on hip augmentation, the fat can be strategically placed to prioritize widening the hips rather than projecting the buttocks. This tailored approach to fat grafting can help achieve your desired look while preserving the saddlebags, as you mentioned. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and ensure a personalized approach for the best outcome.

Hello @Jali08, thank you for your question. A Brazilian Butt lift can greatly improve the shape and proportionality of the body by highlighting the contour at the waist level and improving the characteristics of the gluteal projection without exaggerating, from my perception of beauty. However, the bone structure does not change and remains the same, which influences the outcome of the procedure. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

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

Hi, you are an excellent candidate for 360 high definition liposuction with US guided fat transfer to buttocks and hips. The key is also in the liposuction of the waist and lower back. Make sure you emphasize this to your surgeon. Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for the BBL. A BBL requires 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. Liposuction can be performed in additional areas of the body such as the upper arms and chin. Then, the fat is transferred to the buttocks and hips, depending on your desired results. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience in with BBL surgery and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear Jali08, thanks for sharing your concern and pictures. I rather suggest Vaser Liposuction on your back, flanks and arms, hips fat transfer and BBL will help with your concern about hips and provide with an awesome frame. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks!

Dear Jali08,
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.

Based o these photos, it is very likely that in the hands of an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, with good reputation in body contouring surgery and fat transfer, you may expect result like in your wish pictures. In person or teleconference consultation with such a surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

When doing a body contouring surgery I always take into consideration your body frame as well as your desired results. In my experience by looking at your photos you can have a full body liposuction with fat transfer to the hips and buttocks and get that desired look, you are a great candidate for this procedure while having enough fat graft to do both hips and butt.

The process of having a successful body transformation with Liposuction and fat transfer, is not so much about using the correct terminology, or defining the name of the procedure, as it is finding the right provider.
Delivering consistent quality, liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons who truly mastered these procedures are in a small minority. To find the right provider patients need to recognize there is a significant difference in skillet experience among different providers and do a thorough job and properly vetting plastic surgeons, having a sufficient number of consultations to make a good decision about who you choose to be your provider.
To do that I suggest patient start the process by having multiple in person, consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who seem to have a lot of experience doing the BBL procedure. During that consultation you can review before and after pictures and discuss what you’re trying to achieve. During each consultation, ask you to provide her to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patient with similar body characteristics to your own. When reviewing fat transfer results always confirm with an after pictures were taken at least 3 to 6 months from the date of the procedure. Early fat transfer results can look very impressive but do not in any way represent final results. An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 15 previous patients. Being shown a handful of pre-selected images, representing the best results of the providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider or how many of these procedures they’ve actually performed.
There’s no correct number of consultations needed to find the right provider. The more consultations you have it the more likely you are to find the best provider. Considering how much variation there is in skills with these procedures, I suggest patients consider having at least five in person consultations considering scheduling a permanent your reversible body contouring procedure. Poorly done Liposuction can leave people disfigured, and once the procedure is performed. It’s very difficult to create some improvement if it wasn’t done correctly the first time.
Take careful notes during each consultation, especially regarding the quantity and quality of before and after pictures.
Continue having consultations until you feel you found the right provider for your needs. When it Dowd slow down and schedule more consultations. The biggest mistake patients make in my opinion is assuming people have talent when they in fact, don’t, not being thorough when it comes to vetting providers, and having far too few consultations before choosing a surgeon.
These procedures have more variation and outcomes, depending on who does the operation then any other plastic surgery operation I’ve seen. Being board-certified and plastic surgery with years of experience in an overall good reputation does not mean somebody has mastered any one single procedure, or is good at liposuction and fat transfer.
Good luck,
