Do I have enough fat to have good BBL results? (Photos)

Question

I am 5’1” 127 lbs. 26 in waist, 36 in hips. I’ve previously had a tummy tuck with light lipo, so my body doesn’t collect much fat on my torso. I’ve had a consultation and was advised to maintain my weight.I will follow the advice of my surgeon…but do I have enough fat to have good results. I want hips and projection. Not overly dramatic. Would I even lose any inches on my waist? I’m getting 360/inner thigh/bbl.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. The ability for you to achieve a “good” result will depend on how much volume/projection you want. You may not have enough fat to achieve a large buttock but your back and flanks can be contoured to give the appearance of projection. All of the fat available for transfer can be grafted to the buttocks.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you liposuction with BBL for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Dear Creative837211,
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.

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

You are very limited to donor fat. I offer a "Composite BBL" - combination of fat and Sculptra injections. Fees from $12,000. Best to virtual.
