Liposuction to Buttocks, Is this a Bad Idea for Me? (photo)

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good full body intense liposuction including abdomen, waist, laterals and upper and lower back to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area and brazilian Butt lift taking the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.- 

Your buttocks look fine and I don't think I would agree to liposuction them for any amount of money. The only areas I see in the posted photos that would be amenable to liposuction are the love handles, the area just above the hip bones/iliac crest on the side and back, the saddle bags and a very limited amount of the inner upper thighs. If you do any liposuction of the area between the buttocks and back of the thighs there is a high risk of disrupting the natural shelf that the buttocks sit on. If that happens they droop downward and you cannot really fix the problem.

I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.

My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Liposuction to the buttocks is certainly a viable option for you; however, as you no- doubt have already heard, a great deal depends on skin tone and elasticity.  If your skin is lacking in elasticity, another option may be a combination of liposuction and skin/fat excision.  This decision would be made most efficiently by direct examination.   What may be a better option is to liposuction the areas around the buttocks:   love handles, lateral thighs, and banana rolls.   By decreasing the size of the fatty areas around the buttocks, the buttocks will look better if not smaller because all the surrounding areas have been proportionately made smaller.

lipo aone wont do the trick. You need a combination of substraction and adition. the ratio is three to one so you dont need to worry about being too big. Brazilian Butt lifts are a fat transfer technique. When fat is transferred the cells-not just the fat deposits-are transferred. I liken it to making a coke bottle out of a coke can. It's sculpture surgery so look for the art, not just the science, behind the consultation experience. All surgeries carry risk. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of these surgeries and who's credentialed to do this surgery at a local hospital.

 

Thank you for the question and pictures.

Liposuction and can be effective in reducing the prominence and/or size of the buttocks. However, you are wise to be concerned about the area between the buttocks and thighs;  this area tends to be problematic if treated.  I would suggest that you avoid any manipulation of the gluteal fold area.

Best wishes.
