If I already have a butt and just want wider hips do I still need a BBL? (photo)

Hello Niah97,

Thanks for your questions! I would recommend you getting a VASER liposuction with fat grafting (fat transfer), for a beautifully contoured body. With VASER liposuction you can get rid of excess fat from arms, back, abs and flanks and transfer the rendered autologous fat (from your own body) to specific areas such as hips and buttocks to achieve an hourglass figure. This combined procedure would be the safer and more effective way to get your hip dips filled in, giving you a well-proportioned shape. Since fat grafting utilizes autologous fat, the chance of allergic reactions to foreign substances, such as dermal fillers and implants are reduced, and the results are longer lasting. Set up an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to assess your candidacy for VASER liposuction with fat grafting. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz. 

Thank you for your question!Without a picture of yourself, it is difficult to make a proper assessment. First, we would have to see if how much fat is available to transfer to the hips and buttocks.To answer your question, it is possible to do a fat transfer to the hips without a BBL.Be sure to do a consultation with a plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure.

Your photos would indicate you are a great candidate for a BBL but an exam by a well qualified board certified plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss outcome expectations.As long as your weight is stable, which I would define as plus or minus five pounds from your current weight over the past few years, you would be a reasonable candidate for a Brazilian Butt lift. 

Thank you for your question. Yes it is feasible and there is quite a demand for the exact procedure nowadays.  No one has termed this new trend yet but fat grafting to hips only is quite feasible and I do several such procedures per month.  I also perform hip augmentation with implants, pre-fabricated and custom-made.The most important is have have enough fat "to give" and to be clear with your surgeon about the area to be augmented, including the hip dips.The techniques for hip augmentation with fat is similar to the Brazilian butt lift, which, to be honest, often includes some fat to the hips (think Kardashian's buttocks).Hope this helps!Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, aesthetic plastic surgeon

Thank you for your question. Body contouring
can definitely be done and the fat can be transferred to
your hips instead of your buttocks. I would consult with a Plastic
Surgeon in person so they may better go over the procedure to help
achieve the aesthetic results you desire. Good luck!

Dear Niah97,fat can be transferred to your hips in order to achieve hourglass shape as long as you have enough fat which should be harvested. 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 dear! 
Thanks for your question and provided information as well.
Without pictures its hard to say what would be good for you. 
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)

Recently hips have become more and more fashionable. When I see patients I ask them to point to where they want me to take it and where they want me to put it. See a board certified plastic surgeon, who operates at a certified facility and does a ton of Brazilian but lifts and you’ll be in good hand. Ask him or her; how many BBLs (with emphasis on hips) did you do last year? Do not settle for vague answers. 

Harvested fat can be transferred to the hips as long as there is enough fat available for the transfer. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
