I will be going through a round of liposuction & considering bbl. Will lipo be enough? (photos)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Liposuction will be a great option for you. If you feel like you want volume in your buttocks, then adding a BBL will be helpful. Based on your photos, I don’t believe that you will need a tummy tuck.

Thank you for your question about whether liposuction alone will be enough to achieve the body shape you desire.


After examining the photos, it is likely that some excess skin may remain after liposuction which could make it difficult to get a small waist and desired shape. We recommend a combination of liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks and hips, followed by a tummy tuck (2-3 months later) in order to give you the best results without an exaggerated look.


Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can provide any further assistance or clarification. I wish you the best!

Thank you for your question. Looking at the photos you have provided I would suggest having a tummy tuck to help remove the extra skin, tighten up the abdominal wall muscles and give you the flattest belly one can give you. Some Surgeons will liposuction the flank area and whatever fat they get out they can place into the buttocks to help with better shape. Sometimes I suggest taking some fat from the thigh area as well because it allows us to do add some more fat to the buttocks. Fat is variable, we don't know exactly how much will last so we tend to over compensate knowing your body will break some of the fat down. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Based on your photos and your goals, liposuction may not adequately address the potential skin excess that might exist if you completely remove all of the fat. You might be best seeking a lower body lift to address the skin excess and adipose tissue.

Hi Nnz bcar,
Liposuction is a great procedure to help contour the midsection/back/and anywhere on your body. You have a good frame and a natural hourlglass type figure. You would have enough fat for a BBL, but you would also have a nice buttocks with liposuction alone, there is no right answer. It all depends on your preferences. One thing to consider is the possibility of loose skin after liposuction. Some patients opt for skin removal and others opt for radiofrequency based tightening modalities at the same time as liposuction.

Dear Nnz bcar,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear,
It seems like you know what you want really well! Which is a great first for surgery.
360 degrees lipocustion would get you a smaller waist and flatter tummy. This will lead your buttocks to appear bigger but just to give it a little volume, bbl can be performed after the liposuction. If you explain your wishes to the doctor like you did here, he/she wouldn't give big, perky butt. Depending on his skills and quality, the butt area can be shaped naturally to look rounder.
For your abdominal area, we can not be sure if your skin will retract after having the liposuction. It depends on your age / weight / metabolism. I don't think you need a tummy tuck at this stage.
My suggestion for you is to have 360 liposuction on your abdominal area and BBL to give a bit volume and shape to your buttocks.
Be safe, be happy

It appears liposuction would be a good option for you to sculpt your curves. If you are wanting a flat tummy you may be a better candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Hi dear I hope you are ok According to your photos you are a candidate for Liposuction and bbl, you will have excellent results.

Could you send me photos of the results you want to obtain via whatsapp 1-829-554-6062 so that we can give you the necessary recommendations before your surgery. a pleasure to help.

Based on the inclothing! posted photos you will need 2 rounds of surgery. In either order but I prefer lipo 360 with BBL as round 1. After 3-6 months if needed, which I think it will be to obtain a "flat tummy and smaller waist", a full TT with muscle plication, additional lipo and added BBL if needed. Both times if doing a BBL must use ultrasound guided injections of fat. Expect fees en toto in the $15,000-$25,000 ranges. Best to virtual consult with....
