Who is a Good Candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

People ranging in age from their 20’s and up can be candidates for Brazilian butt lift surgery. Those in their 20’-30’s may not have issues with sagging, loss of volume, or poor skin quality, however they want to improve upon what they already have. Younger people usually desire a more dramatic curvy shape. Those who are 40 and older and are unhappy with volume loss, sagging, lack of firmness, and visible cellulite make ideal candidates for buttock augmentation with fat transfer.

They usually desire a more natural rejuvenated result compared to the dramatic look the younger patients request. There are also people who have experienced significant weight loss or continual weight fluctuation who have the same issues as the aging patient, which may be good candidates as well.

In situations where someone is having a tummy tuck or liposuction to improve the appearance of their body, Joseph T Cruise, MD will evaluate the patient for a BBL and may make a recommendation to consider having it done at the same time. This enables Joseph T Cruise, MD to utilize the unwanted fat in an area which may benefit from it and will enhance the patient’s overall result. With all of the scenarios listed above, the person must ultimately have enough fat on their body to transplant into their buttocks. Without enough fat the procedure may not be possible or the result will be compromised.
