Revision BBL; will I get oil cysts again?

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

This may be possible in a revision, but I have not seen this issue in thousands of BBLs.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hi and thanks for the question. The likelihood of you getting more cysts is unlikely depending on the technique that is used. If small amounts of fat are distributed throughout all of your buttocks tissue the chance is relatively small. Best of Luck - Dr Hardy.

In over 10 years of performing BBL, this complication was not once encountered. If the procedure is performed correctly, it is unlikely that you will have this complication a second time. Pictures or a physical examination by a Buttocks specialist would be helpful in giving a more accurate reccomendation.
