Does getting a bbl fill in the cellulite ??? On the butt cheeks

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. A BBL it's not a treatment for cellulite but I have seen improvement in many patients. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Dear pichy2010,
you might consider Cellfina to reduce the cellulite. Patients are usually satisfied after the treatment (over 90 %). I would suggest you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience with Cellfina.

Cellulite does not get corrected with a BBL procedure.  this is because cellulite is not caused by a lack of volume but rather a tufting effect from connective tissue fibers that are pulling in on the skin.  The same idea as furniture with tufted buttons purposely making the contour have indentations.  does subcutaneous fat it’s like the foam in a tufted sofa.  The more foam that’s put in the more the surface of the sofa project except for the button where it’s held down in place to create a purpose for contour irregularity.

For the same reason cellulite is typically made worse from adding increased subcutaneous fat through fat transfer such as the BBL.

Most plastic surgeons know this and will or should at least inform you during a consultation.

Fat transfer makes cellulite worse.

For this reason patients with severe cellulite are lesser or worse candidates for this procedure.

Best,
