Question

Theres lots of cellulite & dents & worst of all, I have the ugliest shelf butt.It doesn't sit low & natural. My last doctor's assistant doesnt even respond to me so I can't even get any help there.I'm either looking for something to be injected into my lower back to make the shelf look more subtle or lipo on my butt and fat transfer to my lower back. I feel super uncomfortable as people are constantly looking at me

Dear chrisi1212,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello,I am sorry for the repetitive unsatisfactory results you have had thus far with BBLs. By looking at the images you provided it is obvious that the upper pole of your buttocks is much more prominent than it should be. Similarly, the lower pole of your buttocks doesn't project outward enough. Briefly, this can be achieved by high definition Vaser liposuction of the lower back & upper pole of your buttocks to reduce its shape with subsequent fat grafting to the lower pole to create a contour that is visually and aesthetically pleasing. Patient's whom have had previous revisions of cosmetic work do present with unique needs compared to those who haven't had any work done. A consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in person is most ideal, however, if you are unable to find a reputable PS in your area be aware that it is not uncommon to set up and initial video call/skype consult to establish contact with a PS and to determine if they are right for you to reach the goals you have in mind. Emphasis should be placed on a plastic surgeon with a proven track record of success in the area you would like work done (your buttocks). Sincerely, 
Dr. Mowlavi MD, FACS

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
Following the recommendations of your surgeon is very important. The recovery takes around 4 to 6 weeks, you must perform lymphatic drainage massages, for me more, and you can continue your normal activities, perform light exercises, then increase the routine without any problem.
the total recovery of the procedure takes from 6 months to a year, it is advisable to wait 6 months between each surgery, to avoid risks, your surgery is very recent, have a lot of patience.
I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you ...
