Question

I am very athletic, in the past I noticed that when I got down to a weight of 130, (Bmi 20.1, height is 5'7") my two pack begins to show, however, no matter how much exercise I do I can't get the remaining 4-pack to come out of hiding. I'm very interested in a bbl and ab etching, but they seem contradictory procedures. In order to have a BBL you need to have fat pockets to harvest from while ab etching requires minimal fat. Is it possible to have both of these procedures done at the same time.

Answer 1

The success of a BBL(fat transfer to the buttock) depends on having sufficient fat. Although you can have etching done at the time of your liposuction, I'm concerned you will not have enough fat to perform the shaping of your gluteal area. Remember that about 30-40% of the injected fat will shrink and atrophy within the first two or three months after the procedure. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person for an exam and review of your aesthetic goals.
