Posterior Belt Lipectomy - Scottsdale, AZ

ORIGINAL POST

I took 1 year post-op photos of my abdominoplasty...

I took 1 year post-op photos of my abdominoplasty (Abscape procedure) and also had my friend take a picture of my backs musculuture since I have been exercising regularly since the "tummy tuck" (I hate that word for guys). There in the photo was the evil twin of flab that used to be on my belly. So I started researching the procedure. My understanding of a Brazilian Butt Lift is the injection of liposuctioned fat into the buttocks area to augment the size and shape. I would rather have my rear end be a true size and shape with exercise (squats, lunges, dead lifts, hill sprints...) but I know from experience the loose skin from weight loss is not going to tighten.

So on August 19th I am going back to the surgeon for his opinion while I am there for my one year follow up. I'm thinking, without proof or much information, this procedure will cost less since there are no muscles to plicate back together, and the incision will be shorter. Then again I could be wrong, but cost is a factor.

I am so happy with the results of the abdominoplasty I know this procedure will complete the circumference around my waist. I'll keep you posted.

I love the way how nice and symmetric your scar is. I am going to have TT and BBL and nervous , to end up with an ugly scar to look at to the rest of my life

I too saw pictures of some pretty weird scars and wondered how it happened. When I asked my surgeon about the pictures I had seen he grinned and said "when you are on the table, your the only patient I have, so what's the hurry? I take my time..." My scar is so symmetrical it's almost mirror image side to side. i also had to adhere strictly to the recovery care guidelines, which I did.

can you show a good front picture of your belly button in good lighting, did they make a new whole for your belly button, cause it looks so nice. Or did they just remove skin that was falling over the belly button?

NOT Brazillian Butt Lift

I hate this terminology and as a male resent this review being listed in this category. A BBL is a completely different procedure than the one I am considering. A buttock lift is a backside tummy tuck without muscle plication. I have excess sagging skin from the back waist covering my rear end, which I am considering having excised. I am not planning to have augmentation of the buttocks with fat grafting, lipo injections, or implants. I'm enhancing my posterior shape the tried and true way...in a gym with weights.

Ur so right about exercise been the right thing to correct/lift ur butt. However, sometimes it doesnt work that way for some people

I understand that exercise doesn't work for every body/everybody. I at this point don't really care about the size and shape of my rear end but want to get rid of the excess sagging skin from weight loss. the fat injection procedure sounds iffy and its outcome questionable, not to mention its longevity doesn't sound permanent.

BUTTOCK LIFT CANDIDATE CONFIRMED

User Avatar

This morning I met with Dr. John L. Williams for my one yeat abdominoplasty follow up and consultation regarding the flab, as I call it, on my lower back, waist, and rear end.

Dr. Williams confirmed my suspicion that I am not a candidate for liposuction since their is no fat but excess sagging skin that no amount of diet and exercise is going to help. Nor will any magic laser beams or infrared secret devices create the backside I desire. The scalpel is the only solution and frankly that is exactly what I wanted to hear.

He explained that the procedure is easier than abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) since no muscle reconstruction is involved. The time to complete the procedure is less than abdominoplasty therefor the cost is lower.

An overnight stay is not required but 2 drains are, which are usually in about 3-5 days.
The price his office quoted me was right in the ballpark of what I expected and frankly lower than the posted averages. I will be scheduling the procedure for October, 2013.
