Are these realistic results? What specific procedure would be recommended? (photos)

Question

Hello! 29F, 5'2, 150lb. Nonsmoker and active in the gym. These pictures are altered by only bring "in" my problem areas. I'm curious if these are realist results I could expect after a body contouring procedure and which procedure you think would give me the best results. Thank you for your time.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for liposuction and you can expect to achieve your goal. You have minimal skin excess and do not require anything more invasive. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question regarding whether you have unrealistic expectations and whether specific procedures would be recommended. It is hard to gauge exactly what your desired outcome is. You have numbers but is that your current dimension or your desired dimension? All in all, I would ask you the following questions: Do you want your breasts bigger? If so, I would suggest breast implants with a lift. For your abdomen, I would suggest VASER Hi-Def liposuction to the anterior abdominal wall as well as the anterior and posterior love handles. I would also suggest liposuction of the lower back and hips. In regards to your buttocks, if you wish for your buttocks to be bigger, you can possibly have fat transferred. In addition, if you want your hips slightly larger and more curved (in avoidance of hip dips), you may consider fat transfer. I hope I’ve answered your question regarding whether you have unrealistic expectations and what specific procedures would be recommended.

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.

Kind regards

From your photos you appear to be a good candidate for liposuction.  This will address excess subcutaneous fat (the fat you can "pinch") to help sculpt your curves.  I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss the procedure and your surgical goals.

Dear Polite546332,
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.
