I have to get my BBL redone. Why does my butt flatten when I lay down on my stomach?

Question

So I had a BBL last year but it got botched and now I have to get it redone, anyways I have a fatty butt hen I stand my butt looks big and round but when I lay on my stomach my butt looks SUPER flat! Like think of a board. What causes this? I see other females so la done in their back and their butt is still plump and round but mine literally goes completely flat, bi hi I'm standing it's plump and round?!??

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without proper photos and a physical examination. If you have any concern, I recommend you to follow up with your surgeon or schedule a consultation with your board certified plastic surgeon.

A before and after photo(s) would be extremely helpful in providing feedback to your query. Based purely upon your description, it actually sounds as though you had a reasonable outcome from your first round of BBL. That being said, if your main concern is to maintain a perky butt while laying down on your stomach, you may want to consider buttock implants instead of round two BBL.  Revision/round 2 BBL is not likely to remedy your concern. Please keep in mind that extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so you may have to travel far and away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to be of help

Dear FisherDoll17, thanks for sharing your question and concern, but without an in-person examination it is hard to determine what is going on. The best option is to visit your plastic surgeon for assistance. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear Fisherdoll17,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

If you want us to make an assessment on the outcome of a procedure you need to show proper before and after pictures.
