Had a tummy tuck, back lipo, & BBL Dec/17. BBL was a 100% fail. Lipo from back a fail (no reduction). The tummy tuck is ok. Need scar revision right side. Some abdominal lipo needed to smooth results. Surgeon ok with Rt scar revision (do I need left?), ab lipo, back lipo with BBL round 2. Im thinking butt implant? If so, should I have my surgeon transfer fat during revision & implant later, or implant first & transfer fat later to enhance results? I'm concerned with skin rippling I have.
