Hello Had lipo 360 and BBL in March 2022 and not happy. Wanted to know if I can get a revision The pictures are my results. One of my buttocks is so flat
Answer: Considering revision 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 round 2 BBL most often producmmhes the same disappointing results but at another financial loss. Buttock implants indeed 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. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in 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.

Answer: Am I able to get BBL revision? Hello @ncrk4524, thank you for your question. Yes you're able to get a revision. The early stages of recovery usually happen between the first and second months following surgery, while a full recovery can take up eight months to a year that is a prudent time to have a revision. It is important, however, to carefully examine your case, to have a consultation, and to consider factors such as your body features, age, needs, and expectations. Best wishes!

Answer: BBL revision Without preoperative photos to compare, I would say that you have an average good result after BBL. As you already know, take (survival) of fat grafts is unpredictalbe and it may create some volume (shape) difference from one side to another, despite the fact that the same amount of fat was placed on each side initially. It takes good 12 months for result of liposuction and fat grafting to settle and mature. If you are interested in doing more volume augmentation, I would suggest you to wait at least 12 months between surgeries to allow your fat grafts as well as donor site fat to mature and recover. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: BBL revision Dear ncrk4524, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
