Can I get a BBL even with this much loose skin? (Photo)

Question

I am 5'10. 186 lbs. I had weight loss surgery and lost a lot of weight, and now my butt is non existent. I have gotten approval from a dr that said he can do it, but I wont have the same results as everyone on his IG. Is this fixable?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It is possible to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure even if you have a minimal amount of natural buttock volume. The skin laxity can be treated with Collagen Induction Therapy (also called Needling).

Best of luck !

Congratulations on your weight loss!  From the posted photos it is unlikely you'll get great results from fat grafting alone due to the skin laxity.  I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your surgical goals so that you know what you can expect from the procedure.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It appesrs, based  on these photos, that combination of true thigh and buttock lift, combined with liposuction/fat grafting, would be more appropriate procedure for you. This will involve placement of the incision (scar) along your lower back/buttock crease, lifting the skin from lower buttocks and thighs up and preserving some of the tissue from upper buttocks as a filler for buttocks volume augmentation. Liposuction of back and flanks will provide enough fat grafts to further fill and shaping of buttocks and hips. In person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedures, is recommended. Hope this gives you a new option to think about. Good luck.

Dear Kind444180,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello, thank you for your question and your pics. Honestly, going for liposuction will not deem enough fat to work with. my best advise is going for a lower body lift, and using a rotation flap to fill your buttocks with the excessive lower back skin, that will also help fix the excess skin on the lower fold of your buttocks. Focus on removing excess skin first, and finish with the Lipo when no loose skin is left
