My BBL was very unsuccessful, what can I do to get my money back? (Photo)

Question

It has been a little over 6 months since I got a bbl by a board certified surgeon. I'm 110 pounds with little fat, but I wanted my hips to appear wider. I did not even want my butt to be enlarged much, I was focused on the hips. My surgeon showed many before and afters and instilled confidence in me to go forward with him. I did so and now I am left with terrible results, dark scars all over, uneven looking thighs because of the liposuction, and no fat left to revise this.

Hi Robnina10,I'm sorry you are unhappy with your results after BBL.  For what it's worth, your after photo appears to have a much nicer waist line and hips.  Without seeing your before and after photos, from multiple different angles, it is difficult to assess your result.  As with most plastic surgery both patient and surgeon enter in to an agreement to try for the best result possible.  If you think about it, the only person who wants you to look amazing as much or more than you do, is your plastic surgeon.  There is no reason for him to deliver a result that you would be unhappy with.  Performing these procedures in thin patients is difficult and achieving dramatic changes is nearly impossible.  Extensive conversations during your consultation and preop is important to set expectations and make sure you both see your desired result. I would make sure you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and review your before and after photos with them.The good news is that you are still early and your scars will continue to fade.  Make sure you are using sunscreen or keeping your incisions out of the sun.  It takes a full year for scars to mature.  Hope that helps.Best,Dr. B

Thank you very much for your question.I'm sorry that you aren't happy with your results.  It's best to continue to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  Your surgeon will determine what can be done for correction, or what remedies they are willing to offer you (if any).
