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.

James E. Chappell, MD · Answer

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.

John Reilly, MD, FACS · Answer

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.
