I have the apple shape, with the BBL can I achieve the hourglass shape and have a great butt? Or waste of time? (photo)

Question

Ricardo L. Rodriguez, MD · Answer

I would argue that you already have a bit of an hourglass shape - your waist has a bit of definition already. That said, the best way to determine what is possible is to look at before and after actual patient photos from board certified plastic surgeons.
Find "before" photos that best matches your body type and shape and then look at those after photos to see whether you like the results or not.
Best wishes!

You can certainly have an improvement in your waist-to-hip ratio which would give you a better shape. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person for an exam and review of your goals. Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.

I specialize in Brazilian Butt Lifts and Body Contouring procedures.

From your photos, you appear to be an excellent candidate for Vaser Hi definition liposculpture with fat grafting to the buttocks.  You should get a great result from liposculpture, giving you a more contoured and hourglass shape with better projection to your buttocks.

Vaser Hi Definition liposuction uses the concepts of negative and positive spaces in relation to the underlying bony and muscle anatomy to define areas such as your six pack and create an athletic looking physique.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

You can most definitely get an improvement in your contour that will make you happy. When going for your consults, ask to see photos and try to focus on patients that have your body structure or close to it. Remember, for Brazilian Butt Lift, it's not only what is added to the buttocks but also what is removed from the surrounding areas--sacrum, flanks, hips, lower and lateral back, and abdomen that makes all the difference!

Jon F. Harrell, DO, FACS · Answer

Based upon the one photo  it would appear that removing the fat from around the waist and hip area and transferring it to the buttocks and upper outer thighs would give you a nice shape change. After seeing an experienced doctor you will have a better idea of just how much can be accomplished. However, I think you would have a very nice shape change.  Best of Luck   Dr Harrell
