Should I get a BBL or lower body lift and do I have to get a full body lift or can you get it in certain areas? (Photo)

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from both procedures, a physical examination is required to determine this. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello, thank you for your question regarding the 360 circumferential lower body lift and whether you should get a BBL, partial body lift, or full body lift. Basically, you had a tummy tuck, so you do not need a "full" lower body lift. So, that leaves BBL or partial (posterior) body lift. Based on your single picture and "poor skin elasticity", I would highly recommend a partial or posterior body lift. During this posterior body lift procedure, an incision is made across your upper buttocks and the end of tummy tuck scars are joined. Through this upper buttock incision, careful dissection is performed towards the bottom of your buttock, your butt is raised, and reduced. I believe the posterior body lift would be much better than a BBL because you would need a lot a fat to completely fill all the loose skin in your buttocks, and that your larger BBL butt would look disproportionate, if augmented with fat. I specialize in reconstructive plastic surgery after weight loss. If you have any more questions regarding the lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy please contact my office. Since the body lift is a big procedure, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the lower body lift. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 circumferential lower body lift surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf.  If you cannot find an experienced, lower body lift surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Hello darling,

After analyzing your photo I can say youre a great candidate for 360 lipo and BBL and maybe a backlift. Lipo can be performed in your back, waist, flanks, belly, arms, inner thighs, etc. And with that fat we can mold your buttocks to a more rounded shape.

Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for more details.

Hope this helps and best of lucks.

Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear Humorous464384,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Since you recently had tummy tuck, you should wait until you are fully healed. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I would suggest both procedures. I perform this combination regularly in MWL patients who also need fat grafting.
