Is it possible to exercise away a bad BBL?

Question

My first BBL turned out almost perfect except for 2 dents on my left butt cheek. I went back for a revision to fix the dents and now my butt looks awful. Since the revision I have developed dents that are 10 times worse and in areas that they weren't before and my butt is HUGE! It looks uneven, lumpy, unnatural, dented etc. I hate everything about it. Will working out get rid of my huge butt and smooth out all of irregularities?

If your surgery happened in just the past few weeks, it's possible the results will improve with time. Best bet is to give it at least 3-6 months after surgery before analyzing the results too critically. Once you have reached that point, I have found that weight loss can reduce the size of the butt over time, but doesn't do much to smooth out irregularities.Hope this helps - Sam Jejurikar, MD

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Hello Barbzx3,
Without a picture it is hard to tell what would be the best next step to correct the dents that you are concerned about. If you do not want to post a photo of your buttocks, I recommend scheduling a consultation with a buttocks specialist to discuss the desired goals and the best direction to take.
