BBL without abdomen lipo? (photos)

Question

I am so nervous about having my abdomen liposuctioned for my upcoming BBL. I have a little "pooch" but it's not that bad, especially when I'm dieting and working out consistently. I would be devastated if I ended up with ripples or lumps on my abdomen. Can this be prevented by not being aggressive with the ab lipo? Or should I just skip it all together and focus on thighs, love handles, and back for lipo areas? Any info or advice would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks for the question.In my practice for cases like yours I recommend waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

If you are very concerned about contour irregularities in your abdomen, then the best way to avoid that is to not have any liposuction performed in that area. If the liposuction is done carefully and deep, it's not really an issue. Discuss this in more detail with your plastic surgeon if you are still concerned.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Often the abdomen is a good source of fat for a BBL.  Careful conservative harvesting will often not lead to problems.

Based on the pictures posted, absolutely no liposuction to the abdomen. The abdomen looks very good .Very little fat in the flanks and thighs.There is a hip dip which also needs to be filled, otherwise the buttock contour will not be ideal.Consider taking whatever fat there is to fill the hip dip and a buttock implant if you still desire a larger buttock.Or do nothing, you look good

Based on the photos, I agree that you do not have a lot of fat in abdomen.  Careful liposuction of the abdomen should not cause any problems, but if you prefer, you may skip the liposuction of the abdomen.  However, overall you do not have a lot of fat, and you will need to have rather aggressive liposuction in the other areas to get substantial amount of fat.  Discuss with your plastic surgeon regarding the realistic volume of the expected liposuction and fat injection.  Best,Alex Kim, MD
