Question

Its been 2 months since my lipo and BBl, i was 163lbs 5"9, I was told the doctor was only able to obtain 900cc of fat total, He injected 450cc in each booty. my waist changed a little from 32inch to 30 or 29.

I am disappointed i should not have to go for a round two,How long do i have to wait for round 2

You will usually need at least 3 months before getting a revision.  The revision implies that there is less fat than the first time, and scar tissue will make the surgery much more difficult on the surgeon.  The percentage of fat survival in the BBL the second time should be about the same.

It is recommended to wait 3-6 months before having another procedure done to allow enough time for the transfer spots to heal.

Dear nkeiru,most plastic surgeons will recommend you to wait until you are fully healed before you consider another surgery. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
I would recommend to wait six months between surgeries, but remember that all depends on your health and lab tests.
l suggest you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Hi and welcome to our forum!
If liposuction is to be performed in areas previously treated, we usually wait 6 months to allow for subsidence of swelling and the hypervascularity of healing. If liposuction is to be performed in new "virgin" areas, we usually wait 3 months between procedures. 
Follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon.  
Best wishes...
