Hello,  I'm a 5'3 ft female and I weigh 149lbs . I'm interested in receiving BBL procedure and would like to explore if other procedures are reccomended ?

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures you appear to be good candidate for a full body intense liposuction and take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, my special technique "Dominican Butt Lift" (DBL).

Kind regards

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for the Brazilian butt lift. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic

Hello @Lovemusic11 thank you for your question and showing your pictures. It all depends on your expectations, it is important to know what you want to improve. I suggest you consider a body fat reshaping accompanied by a modified lipectomy with minimal approach to flatten the belly. Is best if consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

During a BBL, liposuction of the abdomen and flanks are performed and then the fat is transfer to the buttocks and at times the outer thighs.  Additional, ares of liposuction may be also be done.  
Exploring other procedures depends on your areas of concern.  Patients have undergone abdominoplasty and breast surgery simultaneously.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for 360 Lipo with BBL. This will allow you to remove the maximum amount of fat from your midsection and contour your waist to give you an hourglass shape. We can then use this fat to give you a customized BBL result. I hope this helps.

Dear Lovemusic11,
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.

In BBL, we mainly get fat from abdomen and waist, and give to buttocks for lifting and projection. Sometimes it is needed to reduce the lower hips to give a round and better shape. A modest thigh lipo that wont sag your skin will also thin your thighs and enhance the results.

Arian Mowlavi, MD, FACS (license on probation) · Answer

you will make a great candidate for a high definition BBL which not only eliminates unwanted fat but also excess skin. You also need an evaluation of your belly to make sure that the muscles are not loose. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist prior to proceeding.

You look like a good candidate for liposuction of your torso.  you already have a nice bottom so well done Liposuction may be sufficient but if you want to push for a more hyper feminine look than fat transfer especially in the lateral buttocks it may be appropriate as well.

By far the most important variable is finding the most talented and experienced provider.

Personally I view the torso as a single anatomic unit and typically treat the entire torso or don’t do liposuction.

A full torso includes upper abdomen, Laurel abdomen, love handles, waist, full back and under arms.  For those who are a little chubby or slightly overweight adding arms typically looks really good as well.

I don’t like to look after partially treating the torso or spot treating the torso.  many providers fail to treat the back and this makes people look like they have a fat back or become wedge shaped.

That together with having fat left on their arms can make women looking top-heavy.

Delivering consistent quality liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people believe.

The learning curve to mastering these procedures is long and steep.

Being a board certified plastic surgeon with overall good reputation is insufficient to have mastered liposuction and fat transfer.

Defined the most experienced provider I suggest patients have multiple in person consultations.

During consultations ask each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures. Seeing a handful of selected sample pictures which in fact represent the best results of the providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider.

Asked the provider to show you excellent outcomes, average outcomes unless than outcomes.

Ask them to show you as many pictures as possible of patients who are as similar to you in regards to body characteristics as possible.

An experienced provider should have no difficulty showing you 50 or more sets of before and after pictures. Highly experienced providers will have hundreds or possibly thousands of before and after pictures for just one procedure and each specific anatomic area.

For fat transfer make sure after pictures are taken at least three months after the date of the procedure.  early fat transfer results can look very impressive but do not at all represent final results.

I recommend reading all reviews on various physician review websites avoiding providers with any significant number of justified negative reviews.

The absence of justified negative reviews is more important and more telling than having an abundance of positive reviews.

When in doubt slow down and schedule more consultations.

Don’t commit to surgery during the consultation until you’ve finished all your consultations and had plenty of time to think about your decision.

The results from these procedures are permanent and irreversible.

The difference in outcomes depending on who does the procedure is substantial.

Different providers have very different philosophys or understandings of how these procedures should be done and what and ideal female figure should look like.

In the end finding the right provider is by far the most important variable.

There are only two variables that determine the outcome of a cosmetic surgical procedure. The first is the candidacy of the patient and the second is the skill of the provider.

Generally speaking there isn’t much someone can do to change their own candidacy but patients have complete freedom when it comes to provider selection.

It may seem tempting to select providers based on the comfort of your own home looking at pictures and clicking on doctors websites.

My experience has shown me that this is insufficient to decipher between who is who is talented and who is not.
Good luck,

Mats Hagstrom MD
