BBL revision? Dog ears and pointed bottom middle. (photos)

Question

BBL sx Mnths the bottom corners and middle bottom dips down and looks like an arrow pointing down. Would I be able to get this liposuctioned out and then the bottom corner edges filled in to give me an upside down heart. Would the skin retract back okay in the center? I originally had a square shaped bottom. Also one cheek curves in and has a bit of a dog ear. Is there another type of surgery I need?

Hello, thank you for your question. I would not recommend liposuction, you may need an inferior buttock lift. However, a physical examination is required to determine what is the best plan for you.

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

It is not clear how far out from surgery you are?  If not yet at least 6 months postop, more changes are likely occur as the fat continues to mold and/or melt away. Either way your “pointed bottom middle” concern will likely not get better on its own. Depending how it settles in at the at least six month mark, it may be best treated by a “lower buttock tuck”. If you are additionally looking for more buttock projection then you may want to consider transitioning over to buttock implants as well which provide a much more reliable and sustained permanent result. Glad to be of help.

Dear hopefullysoon27,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

The droopiness of the lower inner part of your buttocks needs a skin excision to be corrected. This is sometimes referred to as a tuck.

Dr. Mendieta in Miami Florida has a YouTube video that describes this well. He calls the procedure the Miami long lift.   I suggest you look up that video to get an explanation of how this part of the body is treated.

Liposuction is not going to work to fix this.

You had some of this before the procedure and the outcome was fairly predictable in that sense.

Your wish picture cannot be obtained with a BBL alone.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
