Would lipo be safer than a BBL? (Photo)

Question

I am booked in for a BBL in October but in the news today a lady died having the procedure carried out. My husband feels that a BBL is too risky and that maybe I should just have lipo to tummy /hips/lower back. Is lipo safer? Could be results be pleasing?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You appear to be a candidate for liposuction. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you will achieve your body goal with a full tummy tuck combined with intense liposuction including abdomen, waist, laterals and upper and lower back to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Looking at your pictures you seem to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction of your upper and lower back for a nice result.Always see a board certified PS.

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Most docs no longer do the BBL due to the high risks involved in it. Liposuction is safe and can really make a nice improvement.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!

Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired.

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!
