6 months post-op - Can a BBL revision fix things? (photos)

Question

I am 6 months since having Lipo 360/BBL and very unhappy with results. Can revision/second round fix issues?

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

You are 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.). It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor 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 cbenson,
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.

Yes but might need 2 additional surgery rounds to obtain an acceptable result. Best to connect with private practice boarded Plastic Surgeon doing many revisions of these poorly preformed BBLs. Exect fee for redo to be in $10,000 ranges.

In order to assess the outcome of an operation we have to see before and after pictures. If you don’t have your before and after pictures then ask your surgeon to forward the ones they took.

Based on the pictures you’ve posted I would say your procedure wasn’t done as well as it could’ve been but you were also not a good candidate for Liposuction or fat transfer for a multitude of reasons.
Primarily you have significant skin laxity and cellulite both which contribute negatively to a good liposuction/BBL result.

Ideally this would have been discussed during an in person consultation before surgery.

In order to understand what was done with the procedure we have to know what you look like before.

Consider re-posting with before and after pictures or get a copy of your medical record (especially the operative report and before and after pictures) and schedule multiple in person consultations with other local board-certified plastic surgeons in your community.
Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
