Would a second round BBL help me achieve the roundness that I am looking for? (Photos)

Question

Female, 5'3, 196 lbs, 57 years of age, I had a BBL/360 January 2022 and my buttocks is not round and full as I would like. I reached out too the surgeon that preformed my BBL/360 and was told that it was best to get a tummy tuck. What does a tummy tuck has to do with my buttom? The second surgeon say at my age a around 2 BBL will not help me achieve the roundness the that I am looking for, is that true. He also mention a tummy tuck after reviewing my pictures. I just want a round buttom.

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures you you appear to be good candidate for full tummy tuck and intense liposuction also, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

You are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, etc.) as most of the fat melts away. It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor nor liposuction technique but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem.  Thus, going back for round 2 BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss.   Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness.  Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Dear Practical8351,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Doing a round 2 lipo/BBL has a 50% chance of giving you the desired "roundness" . In Florida the new required ultrasound guided BBL adds to the fees. I now charge $7,900. Another option would be a combination surgery of full TT with 1 liter lipo (as allowed in Florida doing combination TT surgery with liposuction in office surgery setting). Fee $10,000. Final option is doing out patient over night hospital where a full TT with lipo under 3 liters and more reshaping BBL. Fee $22,000. Best to virtual consult with...

What you need is a BBL revision utilizing a lateral thigh and buttock tuck. This will lift your buttock up and round you out at the same time. Please also consider extending the incision to the front so you can tighten up your tummy so that you achieve a high def body contouring results. Please consider a virtual consultation from a high definition BBL expert.
