What can I do to fix my uneven BBL? I dont know how safe or permanent the outcome will be? What do you guys recommend I do?

Question

First round TT 11/9/17 Second round Lipo/BBL 09/27/18 So I definitely dont want to go thru another recovery process, but this has made me so insecure and depressed. My right side is perfect just like I wanted it, but my left side he missed a spot. I consulted my surgeon n his response was "nothing is ever the same" ? Even tho he suggested adding fillers after 3-6 months after surgery. I dont kno how safe or permanent the outcome will be? What do you guys recommend I do? Please help

Your surgeon is correct in that differences from side to side are almost always apparent despite even a perfect on the table result.  Having said that, I spend at least 80% of my time revising patients who have had surgery elsewhere.

Dear LKLH,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a BBL surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Your PS is correct in that the two buttocks/hips are not twins and asymmetry is common before and after surgery. We know fat volume loss occurs for ~3-6 months after a BBL. We know ~30-50% fat volume loss occurs during that time. The two buttocks/hips do not communicate, so one side could lose 30% while the other 50%. Asymmetry does not necessarily mean that a spot was missed during surgery. Also, asymmetry before surgery is very common and can lead to asymmetry post op. Honestly, filler is not permanent and will need maintenance in the future. This is only a good option if financially it is affordable for you. Your best bet would be to transfer more fat.

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.
