How does a bbl performed on a female differ from a bbl performed on a male? Also, can a bbl be performed on trans-gendered people looking to slim down as much as possible while maximizing buttocks size and projection, and creating female contours? Thank you.

Answer: TG BBL Thank you for your question. The female and male BBL's differ in the shape and proportions that are being achieved. The female buttocks are more round and projecting, while the waist to hip ratio is less. Often male to female transgender patients ask for these same goals. But I try in individualize the plan for the particular patient to achieve his or her goals. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL): information Dear Fotrmentra1995,Thank you for your questions and information. Nothing substitutes for a personal evaluation and a face to face discussion of your options including a review of your medical history/medications and a face to face discussion of your options. Unfortunately with out photos or exam of your tissues I can can only comment based solely your photos. However, hopefully you will find them helpful. The final shape and appearance depends not only fat injection but also shaping the buttock with precise injection of fat but also selective liposuction of the tissue around the buttock. It is very important to convey your SPECIFIC goals and desired shape. The process for performing a BBL is the same regardless of the patients weight:1) harvest the fat 2) purify the fat3) inject the fat The amount injected depends on how much fat there is available to harvest.One can try to gain weight prior to the procedure in hope that the areas you can the weight can be liposuctioned. Caveat: not all fat gained can be liposuctioned. Please make a appt. with experienced Plastic Surgeon who is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).
