I had a BBL done 7 months ago and now have back rolls and flat spots on the bottom parts of my butt. I consulted with a doctor who said my only option to fix this and make it look better is to get a BBL revision done with a tummy tuck. For more contex, I have no kids, am 36, and am 5’3. Was the doctor correct in this assessment, or are there other options available? I’d like to avoid the tummy tuck, but am willing to do that as a last resort.

Answer: Loose skin Dear kbee, 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.

Answer: Loose skin after BBL. What can be done to improve this? Hello @kbee, thank you for your question. Ideally, a patient should undergo a personalized consultation with a surgeon, during which a surgical plan tailored to the patient's expectations will be presented. That said, from your pictures an option can be a BBL revision and JPlasma for achieving more retraction in the skin. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
