Could I get a good result from a Brazilian butt lift?

As long as your blood pressure is well controlled with medication and you are otherwise healthy, you can proceed with surgery.  Fat can be taken from many different areas (abdomen, sides, back, bra rolls, thighs, arms, etc) depending upon the areas of excess and what your goals may be.  Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. The goal is to transfer fat from areas where you find it displeasing to areas in which you would like more volume. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Thanks for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck and liposuction along with a brazilian butt lift to optimize your overall shape. Combination procedures can give powerful results but saftey is key.  You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question  and the picture you showed its difficultd evaluated your case with this angle of a picture and with clothes , its recommended get a consultation with a plastic surgeon to evaluate you.

Dear tljohnson876,as long as your hypertension is well controlled, you might be a candidate for a surgery but there is a chance that you will have some loose skin. 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. Daniel Barrett, MD
