How long should you wait to request a revision for a BBL?

Question

Sam Jejurikar, MD · Answer

I usually recommend the patient's wait at least  six months after their operation before having any type of a revision performed.  This is not an arbitrary timeframe. The results of surgery are continually evolving over that time.Hope this helps - Sam Jejurikar, MD

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

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.

If you have additional fat for a revision, 3 months is the earliest time at which I would perform the revision.  I think it is fair to wait at least 3 months for the swelling to resolve before undergoing a second procedure.  I would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
