Upside down heart shaped BBL in NYC and tummy tuck / BBL shape change. Does my result depend on my body shape?

Question

I'm looking for a doctor (preferably nyc) who can achieve an upside down heart shaped butt. I've been researching for months but it seems like all I see are bubble/round butts. I don't like the look of a shelf and don't care much for a huge projection. Does my result depend on my body shape or surgeons skill? Also planning on a tummy tuck. Looking for recommendations. Thanks!!

Yes, with BBL there is no guarantee of a "heart-shaped butt".  Fillers like off-label Radiesse and sculptra can also be used for shaping and adding volume to the buttock.  An advantage of fillers, they are added while the patient is awake and patient can stand and view results during the procedure.  This is another option to fat grafting.

Hello, thank you for your question. The answer to your question is yes, the result depends on your anatomy and also on the doctor's skills, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

Hello darling,

It would have helped to add some pictures of yourself to see whats your body shape but the answer is yes, the shape depends on both things you said: your body type and the doctor skills.

Please upload again your question with pictures of your body.

Hope this helps and best of lucks.

Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear T83, 
you are right, your anatomy has a significant role in final outcome of your BBL surgery. 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.
