Fat transfer after gasteric sleeve? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I am 25 and had gasteric sleeve June of 2014. I am currently 220 and 5'5. I really would like to get fat transfer to my butt for a bbl but I'm having a problem getting a plastic surgeon to do it. I have went to two and both said I am not a good candidate and couldn't really explain why. I'm trying to understand if it is my surgery that prevents this or am I too large for the surgery? Also if I'm not able to do fat transfer ever can someone tell me my other options for a larger butt?

Thank you for sharing your concern with us. I recommend you to loose few more pounds before considerate get these procedures done. You must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction with a BBL and a tummy tuck, to give you a nice tight tummy and to get rid of the extra skin, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your waist, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape, along with the tummy tuck.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

There are many factors that go into determining whether someone is a suitable candidate for surgery.  If you did not get a satisfactory explanation, then consult with other board certified plastic surgeons who can thoroughly evaluate you and provide you with options for surgery.  I have performed BBL on many patients after gastric bypass procedures.  Having had a gastric sleeve, in and of itself, should not preclude you from having a BBL.

Dear Ms. Cchapman6,Thank you for your questions and photos.I understand your desires, however many factors are considered if you are a "safe" and "good" candidate for surgery. Other factors include your past medical history, medications you currently take/require and your BMI. Your BMI  which according to your height and weight is over 35 which significantly increases your complication rate.I would work with your primary care physician, set a goals, loose  weight and optimize your health and with his /hers clearance then make several consultative appointments with Plastic Surgeons who are experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition ideally they are members  of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.
