Lipo to define lower body without fat transfer? Would my results make me look curvier or straight? (photo)

Question

Looking to get lipo all over my mid section to give larger butt illusion without transferring any fat to butt. From looking at my photo what are your opinions

Roger Tsai, MD · Answer

Great question!  Looking at your photos, liposuction alone will be able to contour your love-handle and sides in order to create a more curvier and hourglass appearance without the need to transfer any fat to the butt.  Because your waist will be thinner, your buttock will appear larger.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai    @DrRogerTsai

Aaron Stone, MD · Answer

As you implied the buttock area can look more prominent with just doing liposuction around it and even in cases where fat grafting is performed more than half of the improvement is due to that surrounding liposuction. In your case the outer frame is A-shaped and the muscle soft tissue have a V-shape. Liposuction of the on each side of the lumbar spine, over the sacrum, above the hip crests and in the saddle bag areas will round the frame. If you want to round the inside of the frame you will need fat grafting to the upper outer quadrants of the buttocks and a small amount of grafting to the lower outer quadrants. If you are only concerned with the outer frame liposuction alone should suffice.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 in order to know if this assessment is valid.

you are a perfect candidate for lipo fat transfer to give you the right shape that you are describing.

Hello,
Your goals would likely be achieved with liposuction alone. Removal of your hip and flank fat will accentuate your buttock projection and curvature. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring. Best of luck!

Dear dillop,based on your photo, it looks like you might be a great candidate for a liposuction. It should give you smaller waist and a hour-glass shape which should make your buttocks look larger. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
