I have two deep dimples on my buttcheeks. They can be seen through any tight clothing, which restricts me to baggy sweaters and pants. The PS suggested to get BBL. My worry is that I can ONLY do it in the next 2 weeks. After that, I will be traveling abroad and spending time with people who I don’t to have know about my situation. I am also getting married next May, and so I am running out of time. When can I continue weight training (if I maintain my weight) and how to avoid bad results?TY!
Answer: Fat transfer Dear Beautiful7588, Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from fat transfer. I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area. 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.

Answer: I have 2 deep dimples on both butt cheeks and my doctor suggested BBL. I’m getting married in 7 months, do I have time? (photos) Recovery time differs for each patient. In general the full length of recovery is about two weeks. Any strenuous activity should be avoided for 6 weeks. Complete resolution of swelling may take 6 months to a year. Following your board certified PS's post operative protocols may speed up your recovery process.

Answer: I have 2 deep dimples on both butt cheeks and my doctor suggested BBL. I’m getting married in 7 months, do I have time? (photos) Hello dear! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Based on your pictures, you are a good candidate for liposuction with fat transfer, to improve your buttocks and fill the dents, and I think you'll get very good results. 7 months is enough time to fully recover. 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 30 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: Brazilian Butt Lift Thank you for your questions and photos. The Brazilian Butt Lift is done by using harvested fat to create a rounded, projecting buttock and shaping the flank the area. If your goal is to reduce the dimpling in your buttocks, you are a great candidate for fat grafting to those specific areas. It will smooth the buttock and reduce the dimpling. The recovery time will be much quicker than a full Brazilian Butt Lift. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with fat grafting. Let the know your time restrictions so they can work with you. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Answer: I have 2 deep dimples on both butt cheeks and my doctor suggested BBL. I’m getting married in 7 months, do I have time? You want ~8 weeks or longer to heal from the BBL before your wedding, so you have plenty of time! To avoid bad results, you want to find a board certified PS that does a large number of this procedure. You want to look at before/after photos and reviews. Make sure they have a good number of before/after photos with all different body types. It is best if they have an example that is similar to your body type so you can see realistic results.
