I’m not considering getting a Tummy tuck at this time but are these results achievable from one round with 360 lipo +BBL? I’m 179 lbs, 5’6"
Answer: Is it likely to get my wish pic in one round of lipo 360 + BBL? Hello. Very good question and I will try to be as honest as possible. I feel it is the best way to earn trust with my patients. The answer would be no. Not if your want the best results possible. It is not very likely that one round of 360 lipo and BBL will get you these results, especially as far as your stomach is concerned. Please keep in mind that sometimes surgeons like to tell patients what they want to hear. And sometimes, these answers may be pre-prepared generic answers to commonly asked questions. You could get something similar to the BBL and hip to waist ratio of the wish pic. But this will depend on how much fat survives and how much fat actually fits in your hips. This intern depends on how tight or lose the skin is on your hips, to allow for a large volume fat transfer. But.....a tummy tuck with lipo would actually help more, because the muscle repair helps tapper the waist and the skin excision helps get rid of the excess skin on your waist! Translating into a better hips to waist ratio!I'm afraid your results with lipo alone will not be aesthetically pleasing if you want to have a flat stomach, without wrinkles and irregularities. You have too much excess skin. This can be seen by the amount of wrinkled skin around your navel and the fold over the panty line. Plus the overall flatness of your stomach cannot be achieved with lipo alone. Visceral fat and muscle diastasis play a big roll in stomach flatness and these issues can only be addressed with muscle repair during a tummy tuck. Excess lipo of your abdomen will result in excess skin, irregularities and fibrosis. This will be hard to correct in a second round. Vaser Lipo or J-Plasma can help with skin contraction, and in your case, it MAY HELP AVOID SOME escess skin and irregularities...... I don't feel this is your best option though. A TT with muscle repair would be your number 1 option by far. Vaser Lipo and or J-Plasma would be a distant number 2 and Traditional Lipo would be a very distant third option.In summary: If you just want to have wider hips and want to avoid a TT scar, and are ok with irregularities, excess skin and not a flat stomach, then by all means. But if your want wider hips, smaller waist, a flatter tighter stomach without excess skin and no irregularities, a tt with muscle repair lipo bbl is your best option. Best of luck on your decision.

Answer: My recommendation Hello dear! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Based on your pictures, you are a good candidate for 360 lipo vaser with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. Maybe youll end up with a little extra skin and you might need a mini tummy tuck. Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, hips, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.It is important that you communicate to your board-certified plastic surgeon what are expecting, to make certain that your goals are realistic. It's helpful to show pictures of results you'd like, but please keep in mind that these are other people and your body is different from everybody. 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 30 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 :) Dr. Luis Mejia.

Answer: Tummy tuck / Lipo Thanks for the question. In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and 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,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Is it likely to get my wish pic in one round of lipo 360 + BBL? (Photo) You may be able to avoid the TT at this time, but this will depend upon your exam and the precision with which the liposuction is performed. How flat the abdomen will be will depend upon how much fat is removed from the area as well as how you heal. Fat can be harvested from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, etc. and transferred to the hips and buttocks. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced with liposuction to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and facial integrity has remained the same.

Answer: BBL candidate You seem to be good candidate for liposuction of torso and fat transfer for shaping of buttocks/hips. It is impossible to say how would your lower abdominal skin retract after liposuction and whether you may need a small TT some time in the future? It is questionable whether you can achieve such a drastic change of shape like in a model, considering that your body frame and relationship between pelvis/hips/waist are different. In person consultation with a board certified [plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.
