5'6, 180lbs - will I be able to get the results I’m looking for? (Photos)

Hello @calmas, thank you for your question. It is important to develop a surgical plan that fits your possibilities, to fulfill your wishes for improvement and to take into account what can actually be achieved. Is best if consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Hello and thank you for your question,
You may be a good candidate for Liposuction with fat transfer to the Buttocks. Liposuction of the Abdomen, Flanks and possibly the bra rolls would possible help achieve the results you are hoping for by giving you better definition of the waist and stomach. Although no surgeon can promise to match photos, you would be able to get good results in the hands of a qualified surgeon.
Thank you, and hope this helps you.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear calmas,
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.

Your results will not look anything like your wish pictures. Your body is inherently completely different from those women in terms of muscular skeletal structure which is the primary structure that determines our body contour. even with aggressive fat manipulation you must your skeletal waste is not that small and and those results will not be possible.
Weight loss patients tend to have skin laxity that lessons there candidacy for both Liposuction and fat transfer to some degree.
If you’ve had previous pregnancies then that also typically lessens the candidacy because most patients with pregnancy related changes do better with a tummy tuck.
I suggest looking for honest and real before and after pictures of patients who have similar body characteristics to your own. That will give you a better idea of what can or cannot be achieved.
To get a quality assessment and better understanding of what the procedure can and cannot accomplish I suggest having a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.
Best,
