5’5 117 lbs age 52. Want to reverse my bbl . The procedure was a huge mistake. Want the fat transfer reversed ASAP! Please advise as I’m not sleeping or eating properly. See surgeon for post op Thursday. He has his credentials and is an Elite doctor. I’m happy with the Lipo to my tummy, flanks and arms . I didn’t want the fat to go to waste so he suggested fixing my flat little bum. I told him I wanted it small and to fill the imperfections. It’s a disaster to say the least . Appreciate your feedback.
