Will a BBL help my love handles and shape? (Photo)

Question

My love handles are massive. How much could my love handles and upper back fat be sculpted with a bbl 360? I have short legs and a long torso, will that make me look dumpy with a bbl? Would plain lipo be a better option?

Leopoldo Baccaro, MD · Answer

Given your picture, I think you’d be a good candidate for Lipo-BBL. it’s a great procedure to shape the torso and augment and sculpt the buttocks. Whenever you do a BBL and augment the buttocks, it’s not absolutely necessary to perform a very large fat transfer. A modest amount of fat can be transferred and the rest discarded if you are not looking for an exaggerated look. In fat it can be made to look quite natural and aesthetic.

Good luck!

Hello, thank you for your question. You may benefit from a BBL. Liposuction will remove the excess fat on your sides, abdomen, bra rolls, thighs, flanks, and arms. The fat harvested can be transferred to the buttocks to ensure optimal fat viability and projection. I recommend that you schedule an email or Skype consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your end goals.

Thank you for your question and photo. A frontal and side view photo would've been helpful.  When we discuss liposuction 360, it means circumferential liposuction of the whole torso or body. This is not spot liposuction if different areas, it is all continuous to allow for best skin tightening circumferentially. There's no such thing as a BBL 360. You are a good candidate for VASER liposuction 360 degrees and fat transfer to the buttocks. It seems from this photo, that your buttock skin is tight and you will need more than one surgery to achieve the best shape and results. Your flanks/love handles are massive and might not be able to be reduced fully and this will need to be addressed through a second liposuction and possible Renuvion skin tightening at that time.
See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Dear iwantabbl23,
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.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
