Am I a candidate for a BBL? Should I start going to the gym/dieting before surgery? (Photo)

"Thank you for submitting your pictures and question. Considering your age and the possibility of future pregnancies, opting for liposuction with J-Plasma for skin tightening is a reasonable approach if you prefer to avoid a tummy tuck at this stage. This can improve the abdominal contour while leaving the option for more extensive procedures like a tummy tuck later. You're a suitable candidate for a BBL, and this can be performed without a tummy tuck, understanding that the skin tightening results from J-Plasma, although beneficial, may not be as dramatic as a tummy tuck. It's best to have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon to set clear expectations.

In my opinion it is best to be at your "average" weight going into a body contouring procedure. Your surgeon can liposuction/augment as you normally are.

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures your first recommendation is Tummy tuck liposuction and BBL but if your any reason you don't want you can opt to chose full intense liposuction with the skin tightening treatment which is a a surgical process that helps with the skin quality (is not a substitute of any lift) but helps to stimulate the skin retraction ability.

Kind regards,

Dear Melxx101,
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.

You actually don’t need to lose weight @ 138 lbs, before your bbl. The extra fat will give you better results as more fat can be transferred to your buttocks. If you would like to be seen for a consultation, please feel free to reach out to my office. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-838-2455

Hello and thank you for posting. Yes you are a candidate for a bbl but you are a better candidate for a tummy tuck with lipo plus BBL. Even though you haven’t had any pregnancies, you still have excess skin….. especially on your lower abdomen and mons. Losing weight and going to the gym will only reduce the fat but the skin envelope will stay. This might mean more sagging a and loose excess skin after weight loss. Only a TT can get rid of that excess skin. Muscle repair can also be performed to some extent in order to help with flatten the tummy and taper of the waist. This combined with 360 lipo and a BBL will give you the best results possible.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Hi! This is Arzu from Dr. Caner Kacmaz Clinic. You can have tummy tuck surgerry combined with BBL surgery. İf you contact with us we will be more than happy to help you.
Kind regards

In a young patient that has not had children yet, I would be hesitant to jump straight to a tummy tuck. Regarding your weight, you appear to be a healthy weight for this procedure. As long as this is a stable wait for you, I don’t see a reason for you having to lose weight before your procedure. Now, it is true that your skin may not be as tight without the tummy tuck, I don’t see a reason to jump to it just yet. I would start with a BBL with liposuction and perhaps J plasma to add skin tightening. If your skin still bothers you after, then you can have a tummy tuck… I hope this helps.

Healthy lifestyle should always be desired, on the preop, postop and even without any kind of plastic surgery. This is done by looking out for your overall health and safety. And by looking at your photos and your BMI you are a great candidate already for the Full Body Liposuction + BBL it doesn’t look like your need a tummy tuck and muscle repair but it would be best assessed on a free virtual consultation and continue looking at your case.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us, if you are looking for more shape and curves you can definitely consider getting a tummy tuck with muscle repair with lipo to the flanks, abdomen, waist and black and then we can inject all that fat to your hips and buttocks. I'm sure after that you will look amazing.
