Answer: BBL results To make an assessment on the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see proper before and after pictures. If you’ve had more than one operation it, then you should include a before and after pictures for each of the procedures. Without understanding what you look like before we can’t really understand what was done during the procedure. If you don’t have a proper before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward, the pictures they took. Skill, experience, and what patients ask for vary dramatically from case to case and without having context to all this information, it’s difficult to really pinpoint why results Looks the way it does. Generally, speaking, excess subcutaneous fat is removed with Liposuction, fat, can sometimes be added with fat, transfer and problems related to skin laxity are best to treated with skin excision. The first step is generally to make an assessment of what the underlying problem is, and what tissues are involved. You don’t have proper before and after pictures and I suggest gathering those first. Generally speaking the first course of action is the follow up with the provider who did your procedure. Discuss your concerns with him or her. If you want a proper second opinion, consultation then schedule those in person consultations coming prepared bringing with you all before, and after pictures and copies of your previous operative reports.
