How will a revision to make my butt smaller look after a BBL? (Photo)

Question

It's been 3 years since I've gotten a BBL. The doctor put a lot more than I asked and I don't like the shape or placement. I want to get Lipo in my hips to make the shape better. He basically put all the fat on the upper sides of my hips and none in the middle and it looks square. I had a really nice shaped butt and I feel he messed it up. If I was to get lipo in that hip area what would it look like? I have good thick skin and muscle. I don't want irregularities or sagging though.

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Thank you for your question and photo. This is a very limited view, a side and 3/4 view would've been helpful. The buttock shape can be improved and reshaped with liposuction. This needs to be approached from a small poke incision at the top of the buttock crack and lateral thighs with specific, custom bent cannulas to create the desired results. I often place the operating room table in reverse Trendelenburg position to simulate gravity during surgery. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Dear ABetterMeeeee,if you aren't satisfied with the results of your previous surgery, you can always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Make sure that youir plastic surgeon understands your goals. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.
  I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
