Which should you treat first, white stretch marks, radio frequency and/or BBL to lift and tighten? (Photos)

Failed BBL 4 yrs ago. Don't have a lot of fat, already have a plump butt, not looking for bigger, just a lifted, rounder, tighter look. I have cellulite(on & below butt) & old white stretch marks on upper butt/outer thigh. If I do a more aggressive revision bbl or RF to tighten/improve shape, will stretch mark or cellulite treatments after, distort, melt fat or in any way negatively affect the new shape, whether achieved by fat transfer, RF or a combo of both? Is there enough fat for revision?
