I'd love an hourglass figure - am I an ideal candidate for a BBL procedure? (photos)

Thanks for the question. I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour. 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

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good BBL candidate. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. In addition, if you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body for fat transfer to the buttocks, such as the upper arms, chin, etc. Depending on your desired results, you may be asked to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience in with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You can achieve the hourglass shape but the ideal shape/result will depend on how much fat you have to donate from other areas. Alternatively, if you don’t have enough fat, liposuction can be used to reshape the torso and Sculptra can be used to build up the hips or buttocks.

Dear ChloeDuggan,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes you are a candidate for lipo 360, inner thighs/full BBL(projection+hip dips). Best to in person or virtual with boarded private practice PSs only NOT from clinics! Expect fees in $6,500-$12,500 ranges.

Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Your pictures currently demonstrate "hip dips" that are contributing to your double bubble buttock shape. This can be effectively treated with fat grafting to your lateral hips and high definition liposuction of your lower back and flanks to create the feminine hourglass you desire. We frame the butt by eliminating the bulk of the love handles (i.e flanks), the central lower back, as well as narrowing the medial and lateral thighs.

The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

You look like an exceptionally good candidate for the BBL procedure. You have fairly ideal amounts of body fat, excellent skin, no pregnancy related changes and a body contour that can easily be improved upon if you’re trying to accentuate a smooth even S-curve from your knees to your shoulders.

I would emphasize most of the fat grafting on the hips and lateral thighs as well as the buttocks..

Delivering consistent high-quality Liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people believe it. The results of these procedures vary greatly depending on who does the procedure.

The most important decision is choosing the most experienced and talented provider in your community.

Finding who is most experienced and skilled for these procedures is not the easiest task but typically doing so requires consulting with numerous providers in person.

Ask each provider to show their entire collection before and after pictures specifically asking to see people who have similar body characteristics to your own.

Confirm that after pictures are always taken at least three months from the data procedure. Early postop pictures can be very impressive but do not represent final results.

An experienced provider should have no difficulty showing you 50 or more sets of before and after pictures. Highly experienced providers will have hundreds or possibly thousands.

When vetting plastic surgeons seeing the three best results of someone’s career is insufficient to confirm the providers competency.

I also recommend reading all reviews on various physician review websites and avoiding providers for the new significant number of justified negative reviews.

The absence of justified negative reviews is far more important and more telling than an abundance of positive reviews.

Find the most talented and experience provider and you should have a great outcome.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom

Hello, and thank you for your question. You are certainly a candidate for a BBL. You have enough fat in your abdomen and back that could be transferred to your buttocks to create a nice hourglass figure. Please see a board-certified physician for your consultation. Best of luck to you!
