5’5/165lbs/100lb weight loss - am I a BBL candidate to reshape butt & smooth my shape? (Photos)

Hi m20783,
Smoothing out your shape may require correction of the underlying cellulite. This can be done through a number of treatments. Fat transfer rarely treats cellulite. Depending on the amount of fat that survives you may get the shape you desire but that would need a formal consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine what's best. Fat transfer surgery varies person to person depending on your metabolism and baseline shape. Congratulation on the weight loss and amazing fitness journey!

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for a BBL to help reshape your buttock. Micro-fat transfer to the areas of dimpling will also help. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you 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

Thank you for your question about the BBL procedure.

Congratulations on the weight loss! That is amazing. Thank you for including photos.

Depending on your exam, you may or may not currently have enough fat to transfer to your buttocks to accomplish your goal.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Hello @m20783, thank you for your question. It is possible to improve the shape of your buttocks with the help of glutes liposhaping. In such procedure, the buttock's shape is improved and lifted to create a greater sense of harmony. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez

Dear m20783,
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.

Congratulations on your weight loss. Great job. BBL can make the butt firmer, but it will not tighten the skin issue you have. I think you are right, you have enough volume. You need skin tightening, not a BBL

Hello dear,
Yes you are a good candidate for a BBL. You would benefit from it a lot actually. Because you already have a good body shape, you seem young & healthy. We can gather extra fat from your body and inject it into your buttocks, this will allow you to have a smoother look on your bum. And lastly, very good job on the exercises. What a wonderful habit!
Be safe, be happy

Thanks for nicely posted photos. Yes you are a redo BBL candidate plus more for severe dents/cellulite effect. The fee for Redo lipo of abdomen and mid/upper back with reshaping BBL for hip dips and projection using the required ultrasound guided re injections of fat (this is a Redo SKINNY BBL btw) is $6,500. Fee for dents and cellulite using the recently FDA approve Aveli cellulite instrument release + injections of Radeisee (about 5 syringes) is $6,000. Total $12,500. Best to virtual consult with...

Fat transfer is primarily volume adding procedure. A BBL is Liposuction typically done of the torso with grafting of the fat to the buttocks. Primarily makes the bottom bigger and it’s not a particularly good procedure for creating shape. This is especially true if the shape issues are related to skin laxity or cellulite for which you have both.
Based on that I do not think you’re a good candidate for a BBL and should instead either consider a skin tightening operation like the back half of a body lift (could be a complete body lift but your front already looks good) combined with cellulite treatment.
A BBL is primarily going to give you a bigger flabby bottom with worsened cellulite.
