Had a bbl may 2016 and weighed around 128-130 in 2016 and now weigh 138-142 I want to get another bbl to full in my hip dips and add more shape n fullness to my butt .
Answer: Second BBL Thank you for your question and photos! It is certainly okay to give a BBL a second try. Based off your photos, it might be a good idea to take fat from your inner and outer thighs, and maybe even your abdomen. I highly recommend that you go on consultations with board certified plastic surgeons in your area who can assess you in person and give you a realistic expectation of what can be done. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Answer: I had a bbl and didn’t have enough fat to get the results I wanted And want to know if getting another one is a good idea ? Having a second BBL is an option as long as the patient has enough fat to be transferred. The revision implies that there is less fat than the first time, and scar tissue will make the surgery much more difficult on the surgeon. The percentage of fat survival in the BBL the second time should be about the same. An in-office consult would be best to determine if this would add the fullness you are seeking.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Accuracy in assessments what you need is an accurate assessment. It's not possible to get that in your case via a real self post. Since your borderline accuracy becomes more important than ever. I need an examination and honest discussion with the provider. Even though you've gained weight you most likely have less fat and I would say substantially so then the first time around. If that result that's more subtle than the first time around is except a bowl and you feel you would benefit from both the liposuction and fat transfer then a second go round may be justified. You should lower your expectations too well below what you received the first time considering that secondary liposuction does not give nearly as much fat as primary. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
