I am one year post op and my butt is oddly shaped at the bottom. What can be done to fix it?

Dear vcamacho85,
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.

First, you are encouraged to consult a board certified plastic surgeon because revision cases tend to be more complicated. That being said, this can likely be resolved using high definition vaser liposuction. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Call to make an assessment we need to see before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures send contact your provider and ask them to forward the ones they took.

In regards to the outcome of your procedure I suggest you follow up with your provider and have him or her address your concerns.

There are a few things based on the limited information posted.

Cellulite and cellulite is typically made worse from fat transfer.

It looks like you may have had fat removed from your outer thigh perhaps to make your bottom look bigger?

I could be wrong but  I don’t care for that approach to the BBL. I refer to the outcome as a “lollipop butt” end it takes away from natural S curves that most attractive women have.

Consider re-posting with proper before and after pictures. Follow up with your provider guide if that does not get you resolution then schedule proper in person second opinion consultations with other local board-certified plastic surgeons will have extensive experience with both Liposuction and fat transfer. When scheduling second opinion consultations patient spring before and after pictures and a copy of the operative report  which is available to you if you contact your provider.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
