Will I be able to achieve the size that's in my wish pic? BBL Procedure (Photo)

Dear ChannieBaby,based on your photos, you don't need more fat. It looks like you have enough fat which can be transferred. In my opinion, you are a great candidate for a BBL. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thanks for your question and photos. It's appears a BBL would be a good option for you to achieve the body contouring your looking for. During this procedure, fat is harvested via liposuction from different areas of the body such as waist, back, flanks and thighs and then transferred to the buttocks. I recommend an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate how much fat can be removed at your current size. Then they can also give you a better idea of what the expected results would be.

You appear to have an adequate amount of potential donor sites to make significant changes in the appearance of your buttocks. You can take fat from the abdominal wall, upper and lower back, arms and thighs if you chose to use them . Good luck.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
First I want to congratulate you for making this important decision. Deciding to get an aesthetic procedure to change your body and get a new life style is a big step!

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. For us your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

Thanks for the great question! I would not gain any more weight prior to the procedure. I think you should be able to get a nice shape with the amount of fat you already have. Remember, if you gain weight for surgery, then lose it, you butt will decrease in size as well. The patient in your wish pics may have also had multiple procedure to get to the size she is now. See a surgeon in your area with experience in BBL to get their opinion as it will be much easier to tell how much fat you have after an in person consultation. Best of luck!~Dr. Sieber

The most popular procedure right now for
enhancing the butt is the Brazilian Butt Lift in which fat is taken from other
places and re-injected back into the butt. You would be able to get some
enhancement with fat grafting and lipo of the hip and back to carve out more
curve.  However, the key point for consideration is whether you have
"enough" to reach your goals. Without a true examination, it's hard to say if you would reach the "picture" look but may do well with a moderate enhancement. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to determine if you are a good candidate to reach your specific goals.

Based on the photos, you appear to be a good candidate for BBL. This procedure will help you achieve a more contoured and hourglass shape. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Thanks for your images and your question.  The short answer is that it is difficult to predict.  In general, fat grafting is a less reliable and predictable procedure than other plastic surgery operations.  We are taking fat that is healthy, traumatizing it during graft harvest, robbing the cells of their blood supply, and then injecting them and asking them to develop of a new blood supply.  The process is imperfect, though fortunately, over the last decade, techniques have developed that have significantly improved fat graft take and survival.  Consider that the result of fat grafting is not simply dependent on the quantity of fat graft donor, but also the quality of the fat (can be affected by prior procedures), the health of the tissue of the buttock (can affect the ability to accept fat grafts), and the quality and tightness of the skin envelope (can limit how much fat can be deposited).   I would encourage you to discuss your concerns and your expectations with your doctor.  Best of luck with your procedure.

Thank you for your inquiry and picture. As you may already know, the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure involves fat elimination through liposuction from several areas of the body such as the hips, abdomen, back, arms and thighs which is then transferred to the buttocks. In reviewing your pictures and ultimate goal, I believe your results are very achievable. The best BBL surgeons will not promise to deliver results they can’t guarantee; therefore, it is best to schedule a consultation with a high trained cosmetic surgeon before determining your results.
I hope this answers your questions and good luck.
Best,

From your photos and desires, you may be a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift (BBL).  Whether your wish pics are achievable depends, not only, on the surgeon and surgery, but also, your underlying frame (bone shape, muscles and internal organs, etc).  Following a physical exam, your surgeon should be able to give you a reasonably good idea as to what you can expect following your BBL.   I am often asked by BBL candidates, "should I gain weight before the surgery".  My answer is, only if you are underweight to begin with.  From your photos, you should not gain weight solely to have more fat for your BBL.  This would be counterproductive to your overall health.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive BBL experience.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
