I had a BBL and was left with a square shaped butt. Can I get rid of my lats & square bum with exercise? (Photo)

Question

I had a bbl January 2021. My results are horrible I have a square shape butt & I never have a square shape before. I know for a fact I need a revision because my shape is square, the cuff of my butt have sagging on one cheek. & one cheek is lower than the other. tripping just going on and on one cheek is lower than the other. Until I get the funds to get a revision I was wondering if I can start reshaping my butt with exercise. I need to get rid of the square shape & wide hips/lats

You are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, square shape, etc.) as most of the fat melts away. It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor nor liposuction technique but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem.  Thus, going back for round 2 BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss.   Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness.  Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Dear Modest606688,
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.

Yes I agree the surgeon or clinic you used was not well trained in the artistic side of BBL surgery.  BTW whom did you use? Now in Florida ALL office BBL surgeries require use of ultrasound guided recorded devices, thus the fees are increased! I recommend BBL reshaping with specialized taping. Fee $7,900 NOW.. Best to virtual consult with ....

The best way to eliminate your buttock sagging and square butt is to consider a lateral thigh and buttock tuck. Please consider a virtual consultation from a revision specialist to learn how this is done and the results you can get.

In order for us to make an assessment on the outcome of a procedure we need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures then ask the surgeon who did your procedure to forward them to you.

Your surgeon is responsible for the well-being and outcome of the procedure so I suggest following up with him or her.

Delivering consistent quality liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people believe.

Choosing appropriately talented and experienced providers is key and minimizing unfortunate outcomes.

Revision work is more difficult than primary work so the importance of choosing a sufficiently talented and experienced surgeon goes without saying.

I suggest having multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with the BBL procedure.
For a proper second opinion consultation patient should come prepared with a copy of their previous operative report and proper before and after pictures.

These are part of your medical record and can be sent to you upon request.

Exercise construction your muscles but will not have an impact on fat distribution.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
