Would I benefit from a BBL revision to treat this fat pouch and unevenness?

Question

I’m a 5’4 175lb female Got a BBL done in March 2021. Was completely flat in the bum. I got a BBL and had an okay result for round 1. I’ve noticed that certain parts of my butt are uneven. And I still have this fat pouch on the top of bum stopping it from being a perfect cup. From the front I look good except he did lipo in the lower half of my belly not the top so it looks a little off (only I notice it). I’m thinking about round 2 of bbl or lipo360.

There are several facts that are unpredictable when it comes to liposuction and in particular, fat transfer. It takes good year, possibly longer for result to settle and mature. Only at that time consideration should be given to second stage which will in your case include combination of liposuction and fat grafting. In person consultation with your surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

Before and after photos would be very helpful. However you do note that your result was just “okay”. If so, you may in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, etc.) as most of the fat melts away. It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor nor liposuction technique but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem.  Thus, going back for round 2 BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss.   Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness.  Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Dear noelle_erica,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.
