Am I a candidate for bbl, would I need a tummy tuck after?

   You may be able to avoid a tummy tuck with very even liposuction by an expert and appropriate postoperative care.

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  Please visit my page on finding the right doctor at drnichter.com on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a BBL Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon. 
Candidates for Buttock Augmentation surgery desire an enhancement in the buttock area to offer a more balanced, defined or shapelier contour to the body. There appears to be two different groups of patients seeking the procedure. One group of patients is younger and has goals of transforming their bodies into more curvaceous figures, like popular Hollywood stars, J. Lo or Beyonce Knowles. The other group of patients is women that have aged and would like to restore a more youthful backside with buttock fullness to replace now sagging areas. Men have also been requesting buttock implants as well.

Thank you for your question and photos. It does appear that you would be a good candidate for a BBL procedure. You have a nice frame and good shape to your buttocks. There is some excess fat that could be used to transfer to your buttocks from your tummy, waist and hips. Liposuction of your hips will help create in hourglass figure. Of course an in person examination is most helpful, but it appears that you would not require a tummy tuck. 

Hello,Thanks for your question. Yes, it looks like you would be a candidate for a BBL procedure. You could have a tummy tuck at the same time as well to optimize the shape and tightness of your abdominal wall. The recovery is more difficult but doable. The tummy tuck would remove most of your stretch marks as well. Your loose 6-pack muscles would also be tighten and your waistline brought in to create a more curvy figure. The operation is quite life changing for the vast majority of women having it performed. Make sure you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to get the best results safely.Good luck,Dr. Shah

You would be an excellent candidate for the BBL procedure.  I would suggest doing the BBL first and letting your skin retract after the liposuction because once this occurs I do not think you will need a tummy tuck.  However, you can decide to do the tummy tuck after you are fully healed from the BBL.  

Hello, thanks for your pictures and for your inquiry. I would say that you have two options but it mostly depends in what you really would like to do. One is only liposuction and a BBL, which will give you a better hourglass shape, and will get rid of the stubborn fat deposits. This option wouldn't get rid of the extra skin nor the stretch marks. The next option would be a BBL and a Tummy tuck, this will do all the above plus taking care of the extra skin and your stretch marks, would repair your abdominal muscle wall and make your tummy flat and your waist smaller. As I told you, it all depends on your goals.Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-LeonBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Hi, Georgielove.  Based on your photographs, it looks like you would be a good candidate for a BBL.  Whether you were planning on having more children, whether you would be willing to consider an abdominoplasty scar at this time, and your ultimate abdominal contour goals would determine whether just liposuction and the BBL or a tummy tuck/liposuction and BBL would be the better treatment route for you.
Because you are young and your skin appears to have pretty good quality outside of the lower abdomen stretch marks, you would likely have a fairly good result with abdominal liposuction alone.  However, there is a risk that there may be some skin irregularities or areas of persistent skin laxity, given that you have had three children.  A tummy tuck would help ensure a smoother and flatter abdominal wall contour, as well as more curving in the waist area.  Depending on the design of the tummy tuck, many (but not all) of your stretch marks would likely be removed.
The recovery with a combined tummy tuck and BBL is more involved and impractical, but is is definitely doable.  And the combination of the two really enhances the appearance of the abdomen and buttocks compared to procedures done individually.
Best of luck should you decide to proceed with the procedure(s), and I wish you an uneventful recovery and outstanding results!

Based on the photos, you appear to be a good candidate for BBL. This procedure will help you achieve a more contoured and hourglass shape. I would recommend having BBL first to maximize the amount of fat needed for the transfer. Later, the need for tummy tuck can be re-evaluated. But since you are young your skin is more likely to retract after lipo. Good luck.
