Apple body shape - am I a good BBL candidate? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you liposuction and BBL for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and 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,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear Genius6860,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

If you already had children, you are a candidate for tummy tuck, Lipo and BBL,
if you have not had children you can still have Lipo with BBL, you will have very good results!!

You are a great candidate for high definition body contouring since you will need both fat and skin to be removed. Using proprietary techniques, simultaneous fat removal and skin excision will be required to transform your body into an hourglass shape with full hips and a narrowed waist. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist to determine what wll be required.

Liposuction and fat transfer our procedures that probably could help achieve your goals.

To look your best you could probably consider losing weight as well.

Knowing if you’ve had previous pregnancies would make a big difference in regards to your candidacy for the BBL.

Pregnancy related changes are not corrected by Liposuction and for that patients typically do better with a tummy tuck.

Your pictures are also a little incomplete. We really need to see your body from your neck to your knees from the front side and back.

Delivering consistent quality liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than people believe. There is a substantial discrepancy in outcomes depending on who does the procedure. When it comes to Liposuction and fat transfer it is paramount the patient’s choose providers who have sufficient skills and experience.

Well price is certainly no guarantee of quality work the best providers in the field often don’t give substantial discounts.

When done poorly these procedures can leave people disfigured. The results are permanent and more or less irreversible.

The following is a list of general recommendations for those seeking cosmetic surgery.

1. I recommend patients avoid traveling long distances for elective surgical procedures. There are of course instances where there is a lack of local talent and traveling to some degree is inevitable. If traveling for the procedure patients should be ready to travel to have the consultation, post operative appointments and follow up should there be issues or complications.
Patients sometimes do not appreciate the importance of in person consultations, that complications do happen or the number of people who have issues with their results or need revisions.

2. Schedule multiple consultations with different providers in your area who seem to have a good reputation for the procedure you’re interested in. Starting with at least five consultations seems like a reasonable number to me.

3. Whenever possible schedule in person consultations.
4. During in person consultations ask each plastic surgeon to show all of their before and after pictures for the procedure you’re interested in.

The goal is not to see the best results of their career but to get an idea of what average results look like and get some type of confirmation of how many of these procedures that provider has performed.

Ask to see results that were not as good as the doctor would’ve hoped for and talk about the differences in outcomes.

Honest and experienced providers should have no problems presenting this type of information.

A highly experienced plastic surgeon should have hundreds of before and after pictures for the procedure you’re interested in. At a minimum at least 20+.

5. Read all the reviews on various physician review websites paying close attention and avoiding providers with any significant number of justified negative reviews. Providers with an abundance of reviews often have aggressive marketing campaigns.

The plastic surgeons I respect most all have the single variable of not having justified negative reviews on their online profiles.
In my opinion justified negative reviews are far more telling than an abundance of positive reviews.

6. Avoid scheduling for surgery or making a deposit on the day of the consultation. Give yourself some time to think about the decision and make sure you finished all scheduled consultations before committing to having surgery that will permanently and irreversibly change your body.

When in doubt slow down and schedule more consultations.

Choosing the right plastic surgeon is the single most important variable to having a positive experience.

7. Don’t go chasing after technology or names of certain equipment. Instead focus all your efforts on finding the most experienced and talented board-certified plastic surgeon.

Best,
