I'm not sure if a bbl is right for me. I recently gave birth and have a lot of extra baby weight all in the tummy area. I'm about 5'2 and weigh 145lbs. I've had a short butt crack my whole life and always wanted a bigger butt, but with such a short crack it feels impossible! Is this a completely different procedure that I need to get? Or is this something a bbl will help make look better? Am I a good candidate?
Answer: Answer: I have a short butt crack. Is a BBL right for me? A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) could potentially help enhance the overall shape of your buttocks, which may improve the appearance of your short butt crack indirectly. A BBL involves transferring fat (usually from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) to the buttocks, giving them a fuller, more lifted appearance. Since you mentioned having extra baby weight in the tummy area, that could be a good source for fat harvesting during the procedure. While a BBL won’t lengthen the butt crack itself, it can help reshape the buttocks and create more proportion and volume, which may give you the look you’re hoping for. Since you want a bigger butt, the added fullness and lift could balance out the shorter crack visually. At 5'2" and 145 lbs, you seem to be within a good range for being a BBL candidate, especially with the extra fat available for grafting. However, your surgeon will assess your skin elasticity, overall health, and specific goals to determine if this procedure is the right fit for you. I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to explore how a BBL could work in your case and discuss any concerns about the butt crack.

Answer: I have a short butt crack. Is a BBL right for me? Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you may benefit from a lipo/BBL and a tummy tuck. Fat grafting techniques can be very powerful and can dramatically improve shape. The length of the butt crack would not change. I would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website.

Answer: I have a short butt crack. Is a BBL right for me? (photos) Hello dear! Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well. Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction with a BBL and a tummy tuck, to give you a nice tight tummy and to get rid of the extra skin, and I think you'll get very good results. Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your waist, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape, along with the tummy tuck. In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know. Good luck :)

Answer: I have a short butt crack. Is a BBL right for me? From your photos it appears you are a great candidate for a BBL combined with a tummy tuck. The liposuction included in the BBL will not tighten your skin. Having a short butt crack will not affect your results. You will have a really nice result.

Answer: BBL Candidacy Hello! Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
