Can I reverse my Brazilian Butt Lift? (photos)

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to get a butt reduction and hips reduction. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Pending a formal evaluation, you may be a good candidate for a Revision Liposuction. You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. you likely cannot reverse this, fat never survives when injected back to the thighs. fat can be removed from the BBL/buttock hip.

The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. If skin is very loose before surgery, then it will need to be removed: tummy tuck/abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin; breast lift for excess breast skin; and/or a brachioplasty for loose arm skin. Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Rootzy,
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 in very experience lipo reduction surgeons hands. But you are asking 2 different questions: 1. Removal outer hip grafted fat; 2. Re transfer fat to thighs. Both can be done but the re transfer has risks of un evenness and irregularities in skin/dimples/dents. As long as you are willing to undertake both parts of the surgery, the understanding of the risks vs benefit ratios, then expect fees in the $10,000 ranges. BTW outer hip specialized taping is a must.

The simple answer to your question is yes.

Previously grafted fat can be removed though Liposuction cannot differentiate native fat versus grafted fat.

Personally I view the BBL as an extension of body contouring trying to create S curves from the armpits to the knees and often build up the outer thighs as the hips and buttocks are enlarged to create a smooth continuous curve. I see providers purposely reducing the thigh to make the butt look larger which is unnatural looking and in my opinion not aesthetically correct.

I find these contours are best created with patients laying on their side during the procedure.

I find it an ideal procedure to do avoiding general anesthesia because it allows me to position the patient in various positions throughout the procedure.

Whether you opt for just having a Liposuction or Liposuction and with fat grafted into your thighs is up to you and whoever does the procedure.

The process is the same.

Follow up with your provider. If you don’t have faith in that person then seek a second opinion through new in person consultations.

Ultimately your provider is responsible for the outcome and your well-being and you likewise are responsible for choosing that provider.

Liposuction/fat transfer results vary immensely among different providers.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of choosing the most experienced and talented providers for these procedures.

Do that by scheduling multiple in person consultations.

During each consultation ask each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures for the procedure you’re interested in.

Avoid providers with any substantial number of justified negative reviews on various physician review websites.
