How many BBLs can you get?

Question

I just had a bbl done feb 5 2019. However, the swelling is going down, and it’s way smaller than I had hoped for. How quickly can I beg another bbl done?

Yily De Los Santos, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, short answer is yes, you can have as many BBLs as you want as long as your body still has fat and you're still healthy. I personally recommend waiting at least 6 months between procedures. I understand that sometimes the desired look might take two or three surgeries to achieve. This is specially true on patients who have lost a big amount of weight, have lose skin, are too small and aiming for big results, etc.

Having the BBL done a second time is an option as long as the patient has enough fat to be transferred. You will usually need at least 3 months before getting a revision.  The revision implies that there is less fat than the first time, and scar tissue will make the surgery much more difficult on the surgeon.  The percentage of fat survival in the BBL the second time should be about the same. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Yes.A BBL can be done more than once. You must have enough fat to transfer and things need to be softened and settled after the initial procedure, I would wait 6 to 8 months but this may vary with the individual patient.

Hi. In my opinion you should wait for a year  to get a BBL revisio, to allow the transfered fat get completely integrated to the receptor area. Is very important that you still have fat deposits in your body contour from where to harvest fat.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

You can do a BBL revision no earlier than 3 months.If you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. 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. 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.  A buttocks assessment tool ban 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.
