159lbs, will a BBL help with my knee problems? (Photo)

Hello @Honest640966, thank you for your question. You need to consult with a knee specialist about the appropriate protocol for your knee. Having said that please keep in mind the BBL depends on the surgical technique of the specialist performing the procedure. In my case when I perform a BBL I remove the excess of fat in all parts of the body to mold it, sculpt it. In BBLs, the objective is to improve body proportion and shape. For more information and options, I suggest you consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

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

There will be no benefits from liposuction and/or fat transfer for your knee problems. This will help shaping your body (liposuction) but it would not change anything regarding your knee related issues. In person consultation with a board certified orthopedic and plastic surgeons, is recommended. Good luck.

Dear Honest640966,
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.

Hello Honest640966! Please be aware that if you've had knee pain for long-term - it's a sign that something is wrong and needs attention. It could be something serious or not; but you will need a professional (certified and licensed) physical therapist to determine this.

Relocation of your body's fat will not increase knee stability.

If there isn't any pain and it's purely weakness that's your concern; please do research on knee stability exercises and stretches, popular/common weak-knee-associated muscle imbalances, and proper/functional body mechanics. Many people live their entire lives with muscle imbalances and this affects their daily lives; simple changes of being more conscious of how you move and use your body can go a very long way. Our daily posture, how we sleep, walk, lift anything, bend, and all other daily movements (or non-movement with sedentary lifestyle) will have a direct affect on our muscles and bone structure. It will take time and effort to gain strength back but it will pay dividends for the rest of your life!

If there's any pain (especially while preforming any specific movements) contact a PT right away! Thank you!

Yes rebalancing your central core with a BBL should help with the knee issues. Best to virtual consult with.... Fee $6,500 using ultrasound guided fat injections.

Changing your fat distribution is not going to have an impact on your knee pain or stability.
It simply changes your fat distribution.
If you’re happy with the way your body looks then you should not have a body contouring procedure.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photo, I do not see any significant thigh deficiency. There are no buttock photos.The cause of your "weak knee" problem must be addressed. If your knees are already unstable, the addition of fatty tissue will only make your legs heavier, perhaps increasing the instability.Many individuals work out with ankle weights or run to increase muscle mass of the lower extremities. This may also exacerbate the "weak knee" problem.Visit your family doctor to determine the nature of your weak knees and stability problems. If no problems are identified, consider exercise as your primary modality of treatment.Best wishes...
