I am thinking about having a BBL & lipo 360 at 50 years old —would I be a successful candidate? (Photos)

Question

Hello and thank you for your time. I am thinking of getting a BBL & 360 lipo, with abdominal etching as well. I also hate my inner thighs and arms. Do you think I'm good for Lipo on my arms or do I need an arm lift? In the pics I have circled dip I have from drains from surgery 12 yrs ago. Flanks I want snatched. Also I put a pic of dream pic.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
In this regard, I recommend you 360 Vase Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.
Finally, I suggest to take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, this is known as BBL. This should fix your problem and give you amazing results. Every body is different and bodies change with time so.. your wish pic is no realistic but I'm sure that a good plastic surgeon will make a great job on you.
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 30 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.
Best of lucks!
Dr. Luis Mejia.

Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. Based on these photos, you would be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which typically includes a 360 liposuction of the abdomen and flanks, thighs, arms, etc and fat grafting for gluteal augmentation. Liposuction of the flanks will narrow down the waist for an hourglass appearance and adding volume to buttocks in combination with liposuction of the lower back is intended at creating a natural curvy look.  Basically, BBL removes the fat from unwanted areas and transfers it to areas that are desirable. It's important to understand that BBL cannot change the underlying body frame and therefore, individual results can vary, as everyone has a different anatomy. Your wish picture is not realistic. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best,

Dear Terry575757,
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.

There are two ways to look at a BBL:getting a Big ButtAltering the Waist to Hip ratioInterestingly the picture you show is from the front, which shows the Waist to Hip (W/H) ratio but not the butt. So I gather W/H is more important to you. Notice how in that girl the widest point of the hip is at the level where the inner thighs join the vagina. I mention this because most surgeons who perform BBL will try to fill the "hip dips" that you circle in the first picture. This tends to give you a butt that is overly large for your body. Your Butt needs to be perky and round but also melding into your thigh. Check this link below as well as more articles on BBL, particularly the one titled "How do I get a lift in a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The age by itself will not prevent you from having the surgery. Current and past health history, your BMI, and other factors must be considered.
Fat can be taken from many different areas of the body including abdomen, sides, bra rolls, thighs, arms, underarms, flanks, lower back, upper back. You have to consider not only which areas will have perhaps the best fat, but also you have to consider which donor sites will have the fewest problems afterward with the liposuction.  In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred, but, if those sites are not available, other areas can be used. 
If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced through liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, back, and love handles to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same.

Kenneth R. Francis, MD, FACS · Answer

Dear Terry575757,Liposuction around your torso and fat transfer to your buttocks will of course improve your shapeliness.  Your age and skin quality, however, will not allow you to achieve your wish picture.  That person is completely different than you.  The "dips" that you have circled are not likely due to "drains", but more likely due to the transition from your abdominoplasty to your flanks.  Your thighs and arms would need to be evaluated in person to determine if liposuction alone would suffice for those areas.  It does not appear to be the case, judging from the photos.  Seek consultation with an American Board of Pastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon for examination and a discussion of your options.  Good luck!

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Terry,First, no one are answering your questions correctly.When was your mini-tummy tuck performed?Second, your wish pic is unrealistic...it is a very thin natural young girl.  Your shape may approach her shape, but your age and skin issues will never be similar to hers.  You need honesty.You would do very well with lipo 360 and a BBL.  Your inner thighs may be done, but conservatively otherwise they will definitely look WORSE.  Your arms a no brainer for liposuctions.  I would have to examine you to decide how aggressive the tricep liposuction can be based on your skin.Best of luck with your search and decision.Dr Taranow

It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a good evaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.
  
I hope this answer will help you
