1 year PO BBL & right butt cheek doesn't have a round shape like the left side, is it fixable? (Photos)

Question

My BBL surgery was the end of August 2020 in NYC.

Jeffrey Lisiecki, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, there might be some excess fat in this area, or you may have a small, localized "blowout". In person examination and more standardized photos will help diagnose exactly what it is, and the fix depends on the diagnosis.

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

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 produces 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.

Dear Naviac97,
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.

Thanks for using Real Self and posting 2 phots. You need BBL Revision/Reshaping surgery. There are VERY few boarded PlasticSurgeons willing to "fix" you. Best to virtual consult with... Expect fees from $6,000+ There are specialized techniques to correct your issues.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

The one buttock has too much fat at the lower pole which is hanging over your crease.  it may be able to be liposuctioned or a lower buttock tuck (removing skin by making an incision in the crease).
Best wishes.
Dr. Taranow
