How can I change my butt shape with lipo? (Photo)

Question

I would like to contour my butt to the picture I shared. What/where should type of lipo procedure would work best to change my butt shape (I.e. inner thighs, outer thigh, back, butt, etc)? I will be having a mommy makeover consultation soon and want lipo fat transferred to my breasts, but want to be sure it will help achieve my desired butt shape too.

Liposuction 360 to your abdomen, waist, and back will help your waist to hip ratio. Outer thigh and inner thigh lipo will help your butt to legs ratio, smooth out the hip dips, and create more of an hour glass shape. Though you can get even more results with a fat transfer,  if you don’t want a BBL you can do a lot to improve the appearance of your butt with lipo alone!

In your case removing fat from AROUND your butt, especially the lower back and flank areas, would help tremendously.  If you wanted to add a small amount of fat centrally to give more projection that would help as well.

Thank you for your question and photo. Based on a single view photo it is difficult to give more focused advise. VASER lipo 360 degrees will give you the best body reshaping and will improve your buttock shape greatly. In this photo, your buttock starts at the buttock crease and blends into your midback without any anatomic separation. As a Total Definer surgeon, I specialize in 3D body transformations based on underlying bony and muscle anatomy. Any piecemeal liposuction technique will lead to suboptimal results.
See a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

There is no doubt that combination of liposuction of lower back, flanks and thighs, associated with fat grafting/shaping of buttocks and hips, will make significant change in the areas of concern. Only on the basis of in person consultation you can find more details and important facts about these procedures. Good luck.

For a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), we inject the fat into the buttock for contouring and lifting. Cellulite should also be treated with a combination of Cellfina or QWO, subcision, and/or fillers such as Bellafill, Renuva synthetic fat, or Sculptra. Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for posting. Liposuction of the areas around your butt will definitely help your overall shape. It is hard to say what you are looking for because there is only one photo. I would need wish pic to compare. 
That said, most patients benefit form liposuction of he lower back, and waist. Inner and outer thigh lipo depends on what you are looking for. Butt liposuction is usually not performed because it can lead to a saggy butt. 
I feel liposuction of the outermost top corner of the butt (top lateral portion…where the waist meets the butt laterally) is extremely important. This last area helps round out the butt, makes for a smoother silhouette, improves butt shape as well as making your waist to hips ratio better and more naturally proportioned. Back and waist liposuction can be performed with a tummy tuck by the way.
The type of liposuction does not necessarily make for better outcomes. Results are more dependent on the surgeon and the patient’s body type. But, if I have to recommend a specific type of lipo, I would prefer Vaser Liposuction. This will help with skin contraction and with blood loss. Vaser is not recommend for BBLs.

Best of luck, 
Dr. Miguel Mota

Dear Speducator,
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.

Liposuction can definitely enhance the appearance and shape of the buttocks. The main goal of liposuction is to remove the fullness above and below the butt. In other words to define the waist above the butt and make the legs longer. The goal of liposuction is to improve the curves above and below the buttocks.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Liposuction of the hips, flanks, and lower back can sculpt the area around the buttocks and enhance the results from your fat transfer.  Be sure to see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for your procedure for the best result.
