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? With the compression garment on I am happy, but without it on im not happy with the projection of my butt, and i dont wanna hafto wear a compression garment everyday just to have the projection i want
Answer: Best to wait at least 3 months before considering a revision I generally advise patients to wait 3-4 months after surgery before considering a revision procedure. You also need to make sure you have enough fat to be harvested and injected into your buttocks.If the majority of the fat transferred did not stay in your buttock, it probably means the surgeon did not spin down the fat in a centrifuge before injecting it back into your buttocks. I have found that my fat cell survival rate is between 75-85% when I spin down the patient's fat and use a power-assisted mechanism for fat grafting. This method provides much better results for my patients.

Answer: How Soon After a Brazillian Butt Lift Can You Get More Fat Added? Hi. It is best to wait as much as possible before getting another BBL. It is normal for your butt to get smaller at this stage in your recovery. Butt please be patient, it will get bigger with time. It takes at least six months to see something remotely similar to final results. First you lose some volume because swelling goes down first. Then, the fat that does survive goes through a ''hibernation like process". Eventually the skin relaxes and the fat starts to thrive and grow, this is commonly called the fluff fairy affect... and it is real. A second BBL would work. Giving you more volume and projection if you have enough fat for harvest. For the best results possible, suggest you wait at least 6 months for your second round. Best of Luck,Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: How Long Should I Wait Before Revising My Brazilian Butt Lift The majority of patients that have a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery performed are extremely happy. However occasionally patients do not receive the aesthetic result that they were hoping for from their procedure. This can be for any of several reasons such as the patient is very thin so there was a limited amount of fat, or the fat did not take as well as the surgeon and patient were hoping.

Answer: How soon can i get a revision BBL ? The pre op consultation is vitally important to make sure each is on the same page, and to make sure what you are expecting is something the surgeon feels he can reasonably deliver. Many before and after photos should be reviewed to ensure that you are confident in the type of results that surgeon routinely produces. Understanding that no Surgeon can guarantee results of any kind, there should be some understanding of what will be completed and the intended ideal result. With proper liposculpting and 960cc of fat to each side, results should be dramatic. It is difficult to say without an exam, or at least photos of before and after. Is it possible you have nice results and your expectations unrealistic, or are your results simply less than ideal ? Secondly, you have to make sure you are a good candidate for a second BBL. This would need to be determined by at least photos, a consultation and exam being best. Can your liposculpting contours be improved? Is there enough fat remaining to harvest and produce desired results? What areas were treated with liposculpture the first time as compared to remaining excess fat in other areas. If there is enough available fat in areas where liposculpting was not performed the first time, the second BBL could be performed from between 3 and 6 months. If fat must be harvested from the same areas, and assuming there is enough fat, i would recommend waiting from 6 months to one year. The reason to wait longer when performing liposculpture on the same previously treated areas, is to wait for the the firmness and scar tisssues to soften and resolve. You can't see it or feel it, however, areas previously treated with liposculpture can be very firm with scar tissue making the procedure of viable fat harvesting very difficult. Firmness and scar tissue from previous surgery can even continue to soften and and resolve over one year.
