Dear Generous355935,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

The safety and feasibility of a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) after having Aquafilling done six years ago would depend on various factors, including your current health, the specific details of the Aquafilling procedure, and the recommendations of a qualified plastic surgeon. Aquafilling is a filler injection, and the effects can vary over time.It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual situation, discuss your medical history, and provide personalized advice on whether a BBL is safe and possible for you. They will consider factors like the type of filler used, its longevity, and potential risks associated with combining procedures. Always prioritize your safety and consult with a medical professional for guidance.

Based on your history, you are a candidate for a Safe California Ultrasound Assisted Buttock Augmentation (SCUBA). SCUBA allows me to visualize your previously treated areas while simultaneously minimizing the risk of a potentially detrimental fat emboli.

If you are a good candidate (less than 5L of fat) for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

That product is not used in the United States so I have limited experience. I had one patient who had lots of injections that created tunneling from the pressure of sitting on the injected area. The fluid like substance attract all over her buttocks into her thighs and back area.

From my experience the product does not incorporate into tissues and creates fluid pockets that do not go away.

I recommend getting an ultrasound to assess where and how much of the product may be present especially where it currently is located.

Plastic surgeons may or may not be comfortable doing fat transfer with your history.

Best,
