Butt too big for my body. Can I have some fat removed?

Question

please help me!!! So I had my surgery done may 2015. I am currently 7 month post opp. I had 1600cc in each cheek. I am 5'5" and I have very skinny legs. My butt does not fit my body and I am so self conscious about it. Can I have some fat removed...About 3,000cc's? How can affect negatively? Can this be done?

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Yes, it is possible, but unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. 
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

It can be very difficult to remove the fat because often it is placed in multiple layers. Liposuction is performed in the fatty layer between the skin and muscle.  It may cause skin to sag a bit if aggressive liposuction is performed.

I am sorry that you are having concerns about your procedure
and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your
concern.

When removing the fat that was placed in your buttock the
tissues are enlarged. Depending on how young you are there is a possibility that
your skin may retract. However, there is also a big chance that it won’t do
that. The solution is to remove excess skin and perform a lower body lift if
needed.

Finally, make sure that you have a
consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in BBL.

Wishing you the best in your journey

There are many more patients who wish they had more impressive results after a BBL.In particular that they kept more volume.Every once in a while somebody will feel like they were over treated. You should go back to your plastic surgeon and address your concerns.It would be very reasonable to ask him or her to perform a revision on your BBL to remove some of the fat. Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
