How can I fix this botched BBL on my left cuff? (Photo)

Question

I had 2 rounds of BBL. #1 left flat spots. #2 revision, surgeon placed extra fat in the cuff. Either my faja caused severe chicken butt on just my left cheek, the fat only stuck in one area, the fat migrated, the surgeon did a terrible job, OR, a combination. This deformity is visible in most bottoms or dresses. The photos do not do it justice. It's TERRIBLE. Can a board certified plastic surgeon lipo the left cuff to improve the look? Do I need a "Miami thong lift"? Please HELP!

Dear ES231,
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 the series of posted photos, I see the following issues. Chicken butt deformity left worse then right inferior side, denting/cellulite effect, mis shaped buttock result. There are very few boarded PSs willing to undertake correction of these deformities. In fact there now is a new surgery being offered by very few of us - BBL REDUCTION/RESHAPING SURGERY....You have 2 options: 1. Superficial directed lipo of chicken butt areas with superficial sculpting complete buttock lipo to try to smooth the appearance, using special taping for 3-4 days post surgery. Additionally injecting a combination of Radeisee/Sculptra (about 20 vials/syringes) for dent/cellulite improvements. vs 2. "THONG LIFT" excision surgery alone inferior gluteal creases resulting in potential scarring. Along with injections of products to improve denting/cellulite. Both fees are in the $12,000+ ranges. Also in Florida required use of ultrasound guided injections or removal is included. Best to virtual consult with...

Delivering consistent quality liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people believe.
In order to make an assessment on the outcome of an operation we need to see before and after pictures. If someone has had a revision then we need to see before and after pictures of both procedures.
If you don’t have before and after pictures then ask your surgeon or surgeons to forward the ones they took.
Droopiness of the inner lower buttocks a.k.a. chicken butt is not caused or treated by either Liposuction or fat transfer. It requires a tuck or skin excision. check the YouTube video called the Miami thong lift by Dr. mendieta. It describes the procedure and condition well.
That part of your bottom is not created or treated by either Liposuction or fat transfer.
We cannot make assessments without seeing before pictures.
Best,
