How Early After Having a Brazilian Butt Lift Can I Have Butt Implants? (photo)

I am 5 weeks post op from my BBL, Im So Disappointed bc i already had a Nice booty to start, i just wanted it to be A LOT BIGGER!! It being more than a month post op and my booty isn't more than 5% bigger than it was prior to my bbl,which is SO frustrating. Anyways i made up my mind to do a round 2 BBL, but i am worried about the same thing happening , or my body absorbing most of the injected fat.So,how long do i have to wait till I even go under again?& will large implants look very Fake on me?

Fat Absorption After BBL

Thank you for the question. I'm sorry you are currently less than thrilled with your results. I cannot stress enough the importance of waiting a full 6 months after your procedure. You need to allow your body time to heal. You also still have swelling from the fat harvesting (liposuction) which may be partially masking your result. If after that time you are still dissatisfied, meet with your surgeon to discuss your options. I generally discourage large... more

Buttock Implants after BBL

The gold standard waiting time for most revision surgery is 6 months, however, if you already know you want buttock implants next time around it's not too early to start researching the doctor you may want to go with. I would recommend scheduling a consultation at about the 4 or so month time period so that the surgeon can get familiar with your case and how your buttock tissues are recovering from the BBL. Additionally, allow me to share with you what you may not hear from others... more

Butt Implants following a Brazilian Butt Lift

I recommend waiting between 6 months to one year before considering gluteal implants. If you were thinking about more fat transfer, you can do this as soon as 3 months post-operative. However you may need to gain more weight in order to have more donor sites for the fat transfer. You look great by the way! Good luck!

Bigger butt

If what you really want is a very large butt, you do not have enough fat to give you that. Wait atleast 6 months before considering another surgery. If you understand the limitations and the risks associated with butt implants, and willing to accept those limitation then you can go ahead with a butt implant.

Check out different doctors. Don't go back to the same one unless he's giving you a real good deal because you're unhappy. Check out dr jimerson's page at advancedplasticsurgerysolutions.com He has awesome before and after pictures. Do you know how much was transferred? I think if you want it really big you need to go around 700 ccs or up depending on how big you want it. But since like you said you already have booty. I would stay around 700-800 ccs, you don't want it to look ridiculus. What doctor did you go to? I live in Miami as well, and I've heard a lot of people want to go big, but the doctors are only transferring 200-500 ccs at most. what's up with that?
