BBL shrinkage at 6 months (photos)

Question

Had my BBL August 4, 2022 After 6th months my BBL shrunk in a major way. Pictures at 5 months post opp on the right January 8th & pictures from today. 5 months post opp is way more round. The only thing I can think of is I reduced my carb intake and I fasted from January 31st to February 3, only eating dinner. I still weigh the same. Although I did initially lose 5 lbs. Could doing those two things negatively impact my results and if I go back to carbs will the roundness return?

Hello @Charming867505, thank you for your question. Depending on the surgical technique and approach the fat that would surviver could be 80% more or less. It is important, however, to carefully examine every case, to have a consultation, and to consider factors such as your body features, age, needs, and expectations. Best wishes!!

Dear Charming867505,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you, Charming867505 for your question and photographs.
 Photographic evaluation is incomplete without personal examination to give the most appropriate answer
 However from the photographs, it seems that,
The weight loss resulting from the carb intake has resulted in your shrinkage.

Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon near you and discuss this in detail.
Wish you an alluring look.

The 2 posted photos not very helpful, better if in nude? Might recommend a round 2 BBL. Fee $5,00. Best to virtual consult with....

We typically do not make plastic surgery assessments with pictures of people in the clothing.
To make an assessment on the outcome of a procedure we typically require seeing proper before and after pictures.
Weight fluctuations will have an impact on body fat.
Liposuction and fat transfer results are typically stable at 3 to 6 months from the procedure.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
