I was squared and had a muffin top. With the procedure I don't think the fat transfer stayed or dissolved cause i don't see a change. I do notice the fat removed from my lower back. I really want a rounder apple shape butt. So I am really wanting to go for a 2nd procedure to shape and add more but don't know how long I have to wait to do it?
Answer: Timing for BBL Revision I perform several hundred BBL revisions each year and I typically recommend at least 3 months of healing before contemplating the revision.

Answer: When to do a second BBL surgery I am sorry you are not fully satisfied with your results. If you want to undergo a revision procedure, I generally recommend waiting about 1 year. This will give enough time for your body to heal and your surgeon to properly assess what exactly needs to be done. Make sure to select a surgeon experienced in revision BBLs since it is always trickier the second (or 3rd....) time around do to less available donor fat and the presence of internal scar tissue.

Answer: When is it time to go for a 2nd BBL? How much time do I wait to redo this procedure? Technically you need to wait at least 6 weeks between exposure to general anesthesia for elective plastic surgery. It is best to wait at least 3 months between BBL procedure especially if harvesting from the same areas. Most will recommend 6 months to 1 year to allow your body to fully heal. Make sure you find a board certified PS that is experienced with this type of procedure. If you truly can't see a difference between pre-op and post-op, then you may be better served by a different PS.

Answer: BBL Revision The wait time between surgeries is typically 3-6months. 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 desiringThe definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
