Posterior Dermolipectomy or BBL? (Photo)

Question

I lost 115 pounds and got a tummy tuck with some Liposuction of the flanks. My surgeon did an amazing job but I have some extra skin on my back side and would just like to know if I were to gain weight, get 360 lipo and transfer it to my buttocks would it tighten/fill up the skin? I’m really trying to avoid the 360 scar. Dog ear on my left side is getting revised next month.

The best way to achieve a celebrity-like butt and hips is a Brazilian Butt Lift. A Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure where excess fat is liposuctioned from different parts of the body and moved to the buttocks. This reshapes and adds volume to the butt while keeping a natural look. Final results are permanent and generally seen about 6 months after the procedure.

You could gain weight for the lipo and the BBL, but overall the skin quality would be the same.

I do not think that gaining weight is a great course, but I do think that some liposuction, scar revision and fat grafting to the buttocks would be a nice improvement. Best of luck to you.

Hello,
I would wait 4-6 months an then re-evaluate. I don' see the benefit of skin removal. After healing evaluate whether liposuction of the low back and possibly hips with a fat transfer to the buttock would make a nice improvement without the scars. Good luck.

Gaining weight and undergoing additional liposuction and fat grafting is exactly what you need. My exam is limited to your photo,  but from what I can see this would be what I recommend. Roughly, 20% of bbl patients have additional surgery to gain a tighter waist and a more shapely buttocks. Your dog ears and scars could easily be improved at the same time. Best of luck.

after losing 115 pounds I would not mess around with the idea of gaining weight for the purpose of having a BBL. You're a skin the patient and if you still have skin laxity you need more skin removed.  This may be a very simplistic answer and for sure to get an accurate assessment you will need an in person consultation. Follow up with your plastic surgeon or get a few more in person consultations.  Most likely the correct procedure is an extended abdominal plasty weather 360 or 270. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
