How do I fix/gain symmetry to my noticeably uneven Brazilian Butt Lift? (photos)

Question

Hey I am 5’7” 35 year old female who had a bbl done in May of 2021. Approximately 6 months post operation I noticed my butt was abnormally asymmetrical!! Can this be fixed with round 2?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. This asymmetry can likely be fixed after another round of fat grafting. Fat survival can be unpredictable and sometimes uneven. Touch-ups are sometimes needed after BBL. I hope this helps.

Dear Swirlgirl403,
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.

Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) revision. The optimal BBL revision outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat since your fat has already been harvested 2) a closed looped system to process the fat in order to optimize transfer time and avoid your fat from becoming contaminated and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique that maximizes graft take. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. Finally, attention must be given to providing you the buttock shape that YOU desire. This means using our proprietary BBL assessment tool. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. Our buttock assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Hello, and thank you for your question. You will need a BBL revision-this should take care of the asymmetry. Express to your doctor your concerns and maybe get a second opinion from another doctor. Make sure they are board-certified, have a lot of experience, and good reviews. Best of luck to you!

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, the result appears excellent with minor asymmetries, which can be corrected, if desired, with revision. 15% of cosmetic surgeries benefit from a secondary touch up.Revisit your plastic surgeon.Best wishes...
