This could be residual swelling in the thighs due to healing and gravity. It should be better at 3 months or possibly 6 months. I do think that the results for Brazilian buttlift are very surgeon dependent and if you want more dramatic results, find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts and Brazilian buttlift revisions each year.

I routinely inject 1500 cc per buttock or more. I have not had a case of any significant necrosis in hundreds and hundreds of cases. However, there is a limit here. I have found this to be about 1800 cc to 1900 cc in most buttocks. Find a...
While these two procedures can be completed at the same time, We usually recommend doing the BBL first in order to harvest the maximum amount of fat to transfer and allow the abdominal skin to retract and let the surgeon determine how much excess abdominal skin will need to be removed for the...
Options include fat grafting (BBL) or buttock implantation. There are financing options out there to help with the cost. Best,
