I've never spoken about this, as the outcome was so terrible and embarrassing. Post-op, it was glaringly obvious that my results were not the same as what I had seen in several before/after photos from various mediums after researching for 2 years. I had seen botched BBL's also, but mine seemed. Because my surgeon has left the country, and at this time I don't have the means to pay for correction, I will would just be so grateful to receive opinions from some PS's. Are these results botched?
Answer: BBL There are some contour irregularities that are present, which is a risk of this procedure. It does appear that you would benefit from some revision to help smooth out your results. You can consider Aveli treatments to address the cellulite. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: BBL results Dear Michelleybelle,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.

Answer: 2 years postop - Was my BBL botched? Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you started out with a "square" buttock shape and ended up with a "V" shaped buttock shape. This shape is the hardest to correct. Unfortunately, it seems that you went to a surgeon who had no idea of muscle and/or bony anatomy, did not understand the "beautiful normal female shape" and does not understand body proportions. To have a lump of fat placed into the wrong areas of the buttock and not sculpt the torso leads to poor results. This is analogous to breast reconstruction using a flap. It is not enough to place a large lump of tissue on the chest and call it a breast. A breast, just like a buttock has three dimensionality and shape to be considered beautiful. BTW, to reshape your buttocks, it is not a revision or correction. You need a whole new operation by a surgeon experienced in body sculpting techniques. Save up for the surgery, do not go into this "half assed", no pun indented, because the third surgery will be more expensive and less positive return. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Botched BBL? 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 additional rounds of BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss. Buttock implants, however, 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. When considering buttock implants make sure that the surgeon is going to be placing the implants within gluteus muscles , (a.k.a. “intramuscular pocket”), and that they are using anatomically correct, oval-shaped implants, such as Stanton Anatomic ®️ implants. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in these 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.
