Thank you for your question. Yes based on the picture this can be fix by having intense liposuction and take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Hello and thank you for posting. It seems odd that you couldn’t get a BBL because of a dent. Fat grafting can actually be used to fill up dents on a patient’s butt. A dent should be an issue, it most likely is one of the reasons patients want to get fat grafting or BBLs. In any case you can always wait about six months for a revision and just make sure your surgeon is ok with performing a BBL next time around.

Best of luck,

It would be helpfull if you submitted your recent photos. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would present an oportunity to evaluate your current fat deposits (as a source of fat grafts) and give you an idea how much of buttock augmentation/shaping can be expected. Good luck.

Thank you so much for your question. Sorry to hear your experience with your previews surgery. I believe some information is missing, a BBL can be done perfectly base on your picture. Please look for another doctor opinion.
The best of luck

Dear xiomararose1,
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.

Thank you so much for your question! Unfortunately, your picture doesn't provide the full view of the areas of concern, thus it`s better to have a full consultation for better evaluation. In general, depending on the severity of the dent fat transfer to buttock can be successfully performed.

Olivier Deigni, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your picture and your questions. However, the photo you provided gives a very limited view of the areas of concern and it seems to be a picture with markings just prior to your procedure. Please provide updated pictures with different views in order for us to more adequately evaluate the buttock area. Best wishes!

Why did you not have the BBL? Posted 1 photo very confusing??? Please connect virtually with... Where is the buttock dent? So many questions.

Kenneth R. Francis, MD, FACS · Answer

Dear xiomararose,
Quite the opposite is true.  Although the "dent" that you mention is not visible in the photo, BBL is very often used to improve or correct buttock dents.  It is unfortunate that the fat you had to do the BBL is now gone, unless you have other areas that can be harvested.  Consultation with another American Board of Plastic Surgery certified surgeon that performs BBLs may be wise.  Good luck!
