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

Question

Hi! I’d love an hourglass figure but not sure if my skeletal structure will allow for it. I’m very narrow hipped and straight up and down. I have inner thighs that are very close together. Is lipo here an option and adding hips? Not sure. Hope so!

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.
