Do you think I could be a good candidate for Lipo 360 for a curvier shape or is a BBL necessary? (Photos)

Question

Hi doctors, I’m trying to decide between Lipo 360 alone or a BBL with liposuction, and I’d really appreciate professional opinions based on my situation. I’m 5’7 and about 155lbs, fairly active I run 30 minutes a day am on my feet at work , and I already do regular glute workouts, I’ve been consistent for almost a year. My main goal is to achieve a more defined hourglass shape with a smaller waist and smoother back/waist contour. Because of safety concerns with fat transfer and my current job, I’m considering Lipo 360 without a BBL and continuing to build my glutes through strength training. I am able to take 10 days off of work but not sitting on my butt would be very hard at my job. I’m wondering if waist and back liposuction alone could create enough of a waist-to-hip contrast to give that hourglass look. A few questions: • For someone with my height/weight, can Lipo 360 alone create a noticeable hourglass effect? • Are there specific areas (flanks, lower back, bra roll, etc.) that are most important to target for the best contour? I hold my weight in my back area mainly but my legs are strong. Thank you in advance for any advice!

Thank you for your question and photos. First one has to define the correct diagnosis before recommending a treatment. You do have excess fat over your whole back, have a "violin" deformity of the hips and buttocks, and a flat posterior buttock projection. The abdomen has excess fat in the upper and lower areas, waist and flanks which continue to the back. As a Total Definer surgeon, I specialize in advanced body sculpting techniques. I use the VASER Hi Def Lipo (VHD) 360 circumferential technique and you would greatly benefit from fat transfer to the buttocks and hip dips to give you an hourglass figure. A BBL is a safe procedure in the well-trained plastic surgeon's hands, and I respect those who decline to do it due to their inexperience. After surgery you can sit on your butt, the fat is not placed at the lower end. I advise my patients to sleep on their abdomen, not on their backs or sides for the first 3 weeks. See a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in-person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

You are an excellent candidate for Lipo 360. You have extra fat circumferentially including the flanks. I would not recommend a BBL. I personally do not perform BBL's for the fear of the fatal complications of fat emboli.
