Is lipo of my sacrum area necessary for BBL and could not having it affect my result? (Photo)

Question

Hi, Is it necessary to have the sacral triangle area liposuctioned for a BBL? If I elect not the have this area liposuctioned due to the extra cost, will the have a negative effect in the result of my BBL?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Liposuction of the sacral triangle area with fat transfer to the areas around that area in the buttocks and hips will likely produce the best result. It is typically included in the cost for the lipo and BBL.

Dear  Kay94.j,
most plastic surgeons include this area in BBL surgery because it can have a significant impact on results of surgery. 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.

Hello and thank you for your question. 360 liposuction of the  abdomen, flanks and lower back (including the pre-sacral fat) is typically part of the BBL. And I believe if you miss one of these areas, your results may be affected. I was not aware of extra-cost for just suctioning the sacral area, as it is such a a small area. You should speak with your surgeon. Best,

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
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 :)

Thank you for your question. Suctioning this area is usually part of the BBL. It creates a nice crease where the underwear would rest. I’m not sure why your surgeon would charge extra. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation or obtain a second opinion. Best of luck with your procedure.
