What would disqualify me from a BBL?

Question

I am 49 female, 118lbs, 5’6 Nom smoker, non drinker, overall healthy except lower back discomfort and sensitivity. Would this be a problem for a BBL? Also, not looking for the hour glass figure! I am wanting Lipo on the inner and outter thighs, flanks and hips. Want a small BBL and nothing like the ladies who want bigger buns and small waist. Looking for a boyish figure with a small round bum! Is this possible!?

Dear Blondie2022,
lower back discomfort and sensitivity are not contraindication for BBL surgery and should not affect the outcomes. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello @Blondie2022 and thank you for your question. The only thing that could desqualify someone for a BBL is not having enough fat to do the transfer to the gluteus. A BBL implies to procedures a liposculture and then that fat is transferred and some of that fat is not going to be take in by the body. Best wishes!

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
To be a candidate for plastic surgery, 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 :)

You’re relatively low be a mayor may be an issue but if you’re looking for a modest augmentation then you may have enough fat.

The most common combination is liposuction of the torso. Personally I view the torso as a single anatomic unit I need to treat all of the torso or don’t treat it at all.

You can definitely harvest fat from lower extremities but lower extremity Liposuction it’s technically more difficult and often doesn’t deliver the results of patients had hoped for this is especially true for inner thighs.

These are all questions and concerns that should be discussed during a thorough in person consultation. I suggest you schedule multiple with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have a proven track record experience and skill with this procedure.

Without pictures we cannot make an assessment.

The following is a pre-written list of general recommendations for those who can cosmetic surgery. Perhaps you will find this useful.

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.
