I had a lower body lift done back in 2020 after major weight loss (75kg) I am extremely un happy with the results as my cheeks are extremely uneven. In pants it’s so much worse. I will post photos Do I need revision? I also want more projection as it’s left me flat.. would a BBL be suitable? Thank you
Answer: Correcting uneven buttocks Based on your photographs, there is more depression on one hip than the other. It is hard to assess the overall buttock shape and projection. A Brazilian buttlift can be used to improve the asymmetries and make the buttocks more rounded. The main limitation in someone who has had significant weight loss is finding enough fat to address all of your concerns without creating other issues. For example, given the skin has stretched out from weight loss and gain, it will not recoil, and you may be left with loose skin after liposuction to get the fat needed. I would recommend visiting your surgeon and discussing your concerns.

Answer: Uneven buttocks after lower body lift Thank-you for your query. Autologous fat injections can even out the asymmetry you see in the buttocks including the depression on one side. This would be a modification of the Brazilian Buttock Lift procedure. I do not think you need a full revision of the lower body lift procedure, based on the picture you have posted. Please discuss this with your surgeon who can help you with your concerns and help you achieve your aesthetic goals. All the best!

Answer: Lower body lift Dear mfranjkovic, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Asymmetry between right and left inferior gluteal creases. Hi, mfranjkovic! Thank you for your question and photos. When I evaluate your pre and post-op photos, I can see that you had an asymmetry of lower gluteal creases between two sides before the surgery. The body lift may correct the skin laxity and help with the volume loss but it can not change the location of the lower gluteal crease. So after the surgery when your buttocks were lifted and augmented this asymmetry became more obvious. A lower gluteal lift may be done on right side from the lower crease in the expense of a new one-sided scar. This procedure will help to reduce the difference of the levels of the creases.
