Small frame. BBL possible? (Photos)

Thank you for your question. When planning a Brazilian butt lift, patients can look forward to a double benefit: reducing areas of unwanted fat while gaining a perkier, rounded posterior.  Each procedure must be planned according to the individual needs of patients, harvesting fat from target areas of the torso or thighs and transferring it to create smooth, attractive contours optimized for each person. The amount of fat transferred from targeted areas depends on the quantity available and the extent of buttock augmentation each patient desires.  Sufficient body fat for a buttock augmentation is very patient-specific, depending on an individual’s body shape and proportions as well as their expectations.  You can definitely give your body a 360 degree improvement with this procedure, keeping everything under realistic expectations of course. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  Please visit my page on finding the right doctor at drnichter.com on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a BBL Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon. 
Candidates for Buttock Augmentation surgery desire an enhancement in the buttock area to offer a more balanced, defined or shapelier contour to the body. There appears to be two different groups of patients seeking the procedure. One group of patients is younger and has goals of transforming their bodies into more curvaceous figures, like popular Hollywood stars, J. Lo or Beyonce Knowles. The other group of patients is women that have aged and would like to restore a more youthful backside with buttock fullness to replace now sagging areas. Men have also been requesting buttock implants as well.

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.

Cool sculpting is a form of non-invasive liposuction.  What does that mean?  Currently, it means significantly smaller results.  The difference in results makes sense, less invasive=less results.  Typically, this means you will need multiple rounds of non-invasive liposuction; and typically (with current technology) this means in the end you spend equal to or more money.  Also, non-invasive liposuction does not allow for the fat to be transferred to your butt.In my practice, I perform a significant amount of BBL with smaller frames.  The main question is:  Do we have enough fat to achieve your goals?  Based on your photos, if you are wanting a significantly larger and rounder butt, then we will also need to utilize an implant.Best of Luck!  Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.
