Round 2 BBL: Worth another try or waste of more resources? (Currently 4 months post op) (Photo)

Question

I've maintained my pre-op weight, followed all post-op instructions, still sleep in my garment w/ab board, & wear my compression vest daily. But my belly hasn't flattened, waist didn't shrink post swelling, & bum is nothing to write home about. Don't get me wrong, I respect my ps & will discuss a round 2 with him. Given the photos I've posted (and the wish pic), is it possible to get a significantly bigger bum from a round 2? If so, is it best to stick with my same board certified surgeon?

Thank you for your question. It takes 6-9 months for final result. You need an examaintion to evaluate if there is additional fat that can be removed.  Others areas for liposuction used for fat transfer can be your inner and anterior thighs.   Discuss your concerns with your
Surgeon..

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

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.

Although it's best to wait at least 6 months between procedures, I don't see a significant amount of fat to utilize for another round. It's a great idea to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon, particularly in concerns to your abdomen and lower back. It's possible that you still have residual swelling in those regions and an examination by him would go a long way in determining the best long term plan.Hope this helps.

I would suggest waiting a full 6 months to allow your body to completely heal before considering a revision.

Paul M. Parker, MD, FACS · Answer

Without pre op pictures, it's difficult to tell what kind of result you have obtained. I recommend you review your pictures before and after surgery with your surgeon to get their opinion about what type of result could be obtained by a second procedure.
