Do I need a lipo revision after my BBL? (Photo)

Question

My right hips and bum are uneven. I'm 8 weeks post op and most doctors says this is pretty close to your final result. My stomach is very bumpy and my love handles are coming back. Will a lipo revision be the best thing to do? I don't think I want to do a BBL round 2, as I don't want a bigger bum. Will gym and diet improve my result better than a revision? I feel sad that I need to work out so hard at the gym to get the result I want when others get it from BBL.

Hello, thank you for your question. Too early to judge on the final result, you are still at the healing stage. This will take two or three months to settle, wait until then to determine if you want to consider a revision.

8 weeks is still too early to worry about what your final result looks like. It usually takes 3 to 6 months for all the swelling to subside and for everything to settle down. That being said, if you are still not happy with your result after waiting the appropriate amount of time, you could benefit from a BBL revision.If you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or Facetime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
