You must acknowledge that SAFETY is priority because if not, your life and health will be at risk. Your BMI must be below 30 in order to have a safe procedure. There is a limit for liposuction fat removal and it is no more of 4-5 litters of fat. So if you are overweight more than 20 lbs, 8-9 poinds of liposuction will not make any difference on your body or shape. So it will be best, for you to lose weight before surgery, be at least at BMI of 30 and then be evaluated. Most likely you will be a candidate for Tummy Tuck and Muscle repair with liposuction and fat grafting to improve the shape.Be encouraged.Dr. Cardenas
A Brazilian Butt Lift starts at 6,500, and varies depending on the number of areas treated, treatment length, and complexity of the procedure.
Dear flatback206,the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). In LA area, BBL typically ranges from 8K-12K depending on how much liposuction needs to be done to get enough fat. It would be the best to visit or call plastic surgery offices and ask for a price. If you decide to have a tummy tuck too, then your costs will go up. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Thank you for your question. Prices vary a lot according to experience and board certification of the plastic surgeon, facilities, quality of the practice, region, etc… Surgery overseas can be an excellent option for results, experience, and value. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.Combination procedures are a great way to save on cost and reduce the need for multiple surgeries. You only have to pay one operating room and anesthesia fee which can make this a very cost effective approach. No matter what how low you're quoted SAFETY should be your primary concern. Combination procedures are safe and very effective in the right hands. The surgeon HAS to be an expert in EACH procedure and must have a lot of experience in performing combination procedures and can minimize the operative time. You might look into a practice where the surgeons work as a team. With two surgeons performing your operation simultaneously you drastically reduce your surgical time and less trauma.Remember! Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us! Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired. Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first. Have a great day! Dr. JPG
Cost varies from surgeon to surgeon and depends on OR time, anesthesia, number of areas for lipo..... I would recommend staging these two procedures for health and safety reasons.
Hello thank you for your question and photo. While it is possible to combine a BBL with other procedures such as a Tummy Tuck, please note that in some cases the amount of fat that can be removed during liposuction is significantly reduced when the procedure is combined with another surgery. Example, in Fl where I practice, I can remove up to 4000 CC's of fat at once during a lipo procedure like a BBL, but if the procedure is combined, that number is reduced to 1000 cc's. Based on your photo alone, you would benefit from a full liposuction of your abdomen, flanks, upper/lower back in order to obtain the hourglass shape most patients are seeking from their BBL. Please be sure to consult with your surgeon and explore all your options before committing to a surgical plan. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for your question and photo. Your photo is too dark to see but it is possible to do both tummytuck and BBL together depending on your body and downtime. Please consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Also please keep in mind that the best candidate for surgery is someone who is healthy with stabilized weight and has realist expectations. You will need to see your primary physician to get clearance for surgery as well. Best wishes!
Dear autumnrose11,the optimal weight to have a BBL surgery is a very common question and for good reason. Having surgery before you reach your target weight can lead to suboptimal results if you were to lose more weight after surgery. Good first questions to ask yourself are: 1. Am I at my goal ...
Q: Can Sculptra help dents after BBL?Great Question!Manifactured Fillers can be used to Attempt to fill in dents. Most likely the dent is from scar tissue pulling the dent in the muscle and you would have to attempt to release the scar tissue rather than reduce filler by itself. You can attempt ...
Hello thank you for your question. The pain you are describing is fairly common after liposuction and is caused by swelling. Post operative massage can help alleviate pain in the lower back. Stay away from overly processed food which can be high in sodium (which makes swelling worse), and try to...
