Hello, So I want to get a bbl but is it possible to get fat taken from just my flanks, back, and bra rolls? I want to leave the abdomen alone because I want my skin to tighten back up naturally. I love essential oils and natural products so I've made my own skin firming oil, skin firming body scrub, and skin firming soap. All of them have helped drastically along with my diet and exercise routine so a tummy tuck is out of the question. Even if my abdomen doesn't look perfect I'm okay with it. I'm 5'3" and 157 pounds. Size 12 pants in women and Medium shirt size
Answer: VASER LIPOSUCTION WITH FAT TRANSFER TO THE BUTTOCKS FOR AN HOURGLASS FIGURE. Hello shellabriel, It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! First, I would recommend consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon to determine if you are a good candidate for a VASER Liposuction before considering having an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck done). In the case you are indeed a good candidate, the excess fat can be removed from multiple areas (arms, back, abs, flanks) and transfer it to your hips and buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), in one single procedure. 4D VASER Liposuction is the safer and more effective procedure if you want to eliminate the fat while tightening the skin at the same time. VASER Lipo is clinically proven to cause up to 53% more skin retraction relative to traditional liposuction methods. Maximum results will typically take 4-6 months to show. In the best-case scenario, your skin would retract as much as you’ve desired and you wouldn’t need to perform a tummy tuck afterwards. Best wishes! Dr. De La Cruz.

Answer: BBL candidate Dear shellabriel,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Candidate for BBL It's best to be seen in person, but based on the photos alone, you are a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift with liposuction. Liposuction can come from various part of the body and if you do not wish to liposuction the abdomen, then that is definitely possible as it is ultimately about what you want. I would consult with a plastic surgeon who you feel comfortable with and specializes in BBLs to discuss the procedure in detail. Good luck! Kamran Azad MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Fat for BBL Hi— Yes! We can take fat from just about anywhere you have a localized fat collection—so, back, bra line, and flanks are all common areas for harvest and contouring. It is your prerogative to leave your abdomen “alone” to naturally improve. If you are in the process of weight loss, then it’s a good idea to try and achieve the improvement and be of stable weight prior to having your BBL surgery. Hope that helps...! Good luck Dr. Nemeth

Answer: Can I get fat taken from certain areas for BBL? Hello dear! Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for a liposuction with BBL and I think you'll get very good results, you should not gain weight. Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You improve your abdomen, waist, back and of course your buttock to give you a beautiful heart shape. I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals. Good luck :)
