Would Having a Lower Body Lift Ruin the Results of a Prior BBL?

I have an appt to have BBL done however I am considering having a 'butt & thigh lift", if I have the BBL done now & I'm not completely satisified with the results I am thinking of having a butt/thigh (inner & outer) LIFT within the next year or two. Would having the lift done after a BBL decrease the buttocks? And is it possible for the lift to change the shape of my rear? Or would it only enhance the results? Just wondering what order to do these procedures in or to do them together.

I would recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in both the body lift and... more

Would Having a Lower Body Lift Ruin the Results of a Prior BBL?

A lower body lift will tighten the buttock and likely will decrease the apparent volume increase from the BBL. Without photos this is not possible to assess at all. At the time of the lift, fat can be harvested from the tissue to be removed and used to augment the BBL. Depending upon how much fat is available, this may more than make up for the "loss" that occurs with skin tightening. There are techniques of buttock life that use the tissue that might... more

Lower Body Lift

Am I right that by BBL you mean Broad Band Light treatment? A buttock and thigh lift will not alter the results of broad band light treatment.
