How to fix BBL gone wrong? (Photo

Question

I had a bbl 7 months ago but I believe the surgeon only placed fat in the upper part of my butt leaving me with an odd shape. What or how can I fix this to achieve a nicer rounder shape?

Based on one photo it isn't easy to say what happened exactly, but you do have some dimpled lower skin that could be tight.  As long as you have enough fat, a secondary procedure prioritizing the fat placement into your preferred areas is a good idea.  Now that you are more than 6 months out from the first procedure, you can go ahead as long as you don't still feel any hardness under the skin from the initial liposuction.

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Dear Smagana85,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

It seems like your surgeon placed the fat where you didn't want it, which also gave you a bad shape. The way to fix this surgically would be to have a BBL revision with HD Lipo. The HD lipo will take the fat from your flanks and back to get rid of the rolls and give you a small waist that transitions into the butt for an hourglass shape.
