Just TT and Lipo will help butt to look big or do you think I also need a BBL? (photos)

Question

I have seen three surgens to get TT and BBL but they advice me just to get tummy tuck and waist, love handles and bra roll Lipo will be okay ... they say just by doing TT and Lipo my butt will look big and that I dont have much fat for a big change in my butt

Dhaval M. Patel, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and sharing your photos. I think you would be great candidate for Tummy Tuck with Liposuction. You do have enough fat to transfer to the buttocks. You could use the fat and transfer to the depressions in the hips for more of an hourglass figure. Just Tummy Tuck and Liposuction will still give the illusion of a bigger butt. Best of luck!

You look like you would be a good candidate for tummy tuck and love handle liposuction. You would certainly have enough fat to add to the buttocks if you so desired; it just depends on what your goals are. Certainly, making an adjacent area look smaller (abdomen and flanks) does make the buttocks look proportionately larger without adding fat. They would however, still be the same size as they are now. If you actually want more buttock volume, fat transfer would be a nice contouring option.

Hello and thank you for your
question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck
with liposuction.  This can be done
through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line.  The belly button can be designed to look
natural and have no scars on the exterior.  
Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen.  Back liposuction can be performed at the same time for improved contour.  I do not think a BBL is needed, but you certainly could if you want.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

A tummy tuck and liposuction of the waist (especially if agressive lipo is performed on your lower back) will make your buttocks appear larger in comparison.  However, you have plenty of fat for a BBL.  Ask your doctor to show you before and afters and discuss your expectations.Best wishes and good luck.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. Having a BBL in addition to the tummy tuck and liposuction will dramatically increase the risks of surgery! That’s probably why your 3 doctors don’t want to add it. Additionally, your buttocks is pretty full and has a nice shape. Unless your goals are to have a really large buttocks it might not be a good idea to go with the BBL. Best wishes. Dr. Aldo

From your photos a circumferential body lift which includes a tummy tuck would help shape your buttocks. It would slim down the hips a nd make your buttocks more prominent.

Emmanuel De La Cruz, MD · Answer

Hello EsGloria,
I would recommend an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) performed first to get rid of the stretch marks and excess skin, and a 4D VASER Hi-definition Liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks 6 months after the initial procedure. That would be your best option to eliminate the excess skin, fat around your abdomen, and stretch marks. After a recovery period of at least 6 months, you would be able to have the Vaser 4D Lipo procedure to remove the excess of fat from particular areas such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, and back with Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat transfer to the buttocks). I recommend consulting with your plastic surgeon about your specific needs and expectations. Your plastic surgeon would need to evaluate you in person to determine if you are a good candidate for an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure. Hope this information is useful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Thank you for the detailed question and corresponding photos. Based on the pictures, you do appear to have a good inferior buttock contour, and using liposuction to trim the flanks and back will give you some upper buttock contour and improve your waist line. Whether you need a BBL or not, either way I prefer to do the lateral tension abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) first as a separate procedure and then the BBL at least 3 months after. This allows your abdominal incision and muscle tightening to heal before you get the BBL when you cannot sit/lay on your buttocks for 2 weeks. If after the abdominoplasty and flank/back liposuction you still want more curves, we can discuss a BBL. I recommend finding a board-certified surgeon you feel comfortable with and understands your goals and expectations. At our practice we also provide consults via FaceTime or Skype for patients who live outside of NY.

Thank you for your question. Certainly TT and lipo will help and look you good. You have enough fat if you wanted to transfer. It is up to you and your surgeon. Good Luck

Jean Paul Giudicelli Saba, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
  
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired.
  
Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.
  
Have a great day!
