I had a bbl done 6 weeks ago, and am not satisfied with the volume. I had 960cc's put in each cheek, but feel that a lot was absorbed since the surgery. How soon can I schedule to go back to get more fat added? And will that give me better results as im adding more fat after the initial surgery?

How Soon After a Brazillian Butt Lift Can You Get More Fat Added?

I would reccommend that you wait at least 12 months before you have more fat injected into your butt. The amount of fat you had placed is a fairly large amount, however, without knowing what technique was used it is difficult to say what the resorption rate will be. It will take about a year for you to see the final result from the grafting as it takes time for the fat to be revascularized and then to grow on its own. Please be patient.

Redo Brazilian butt lift

This is a very unusual request from somebody having a fat transfer procedure so early. What you are really describing is a poorly performed Brazilian butt lift. Only 20% of the fat is reabsorbed after the procedure. You have almost 1000cc of fat injected into each buttock, which is a significant amount to increase projection. Was the fat processed after it was harvested? Were the non – fat products removed prior to injection? You see, when doing liposuction, only 30% of the... more

Brazilian butt lift when can you have more fat

In my patients who have had liposuction and fat injection it takes 3 months and sometimes more to see the final result. At 6 weeks is still early and you probably are not close to your best result. You probably still have swelling and your skin has not contracted as much as it probably will. Whenever you operate on an area you do not want to go back to that same area until all the swelling has resolved. In liposuction is maybe 6 or more months later. If you go back to try to operate on... more

Brazilian butt lift

Thank you for this question. It gives me a chance to dispel a myth: Early results mean something. Some good early results look poor later and some poor ones look great. I I feel that the surgeon's skills determine the outcome, and that only she (or he) may suggest whether you are being impatient and should wear a girdle. The question becomes; how do I find a surgeon who can give me good advice if not happy? I think it is simple; find a... more

Improving outcome from Brazilian Butt Lift

Hi there- Without examining you, it is difficult to say whether further fat grafting would be in your best interests or not. Based on what you say about being happy with your butt when your are wearing the support garment, I would be a bit concerned that whats keeping you from being happier with your butt is not an ongoing lack of volume, but the quality and quantity of the skin envelope. Discuss this with your surgeon.
