2 BBLs in 4 months, still no bubble! Will I need a 3rd from a doctor who understand the concept of a bubble butt?

Question

Hi I recently had a bbl in December and then again 2 weeks ago bc it looked like the doctor didn’t spread the fat out to result a bubble look. Is there a special faja I need to get to round it out more? Or will I need a 3rd one from a doctor who understands the concept of a BUBBLE BUTT! I feel like the shaping is beautiful but if he really put 1900 cc per cheek both times I should have a round booty.

Dear Funny7499,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

Having the BBL done a third time is an option as long as the patient has enough fat to be transferred.  You will usually need at least 3 months before getting a revision.  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 third time should be about the same. Alot depends upon the skill of the PS and your anatomy.

What you want may or may not be possible.  You have to remember that every patient is different.  You have a different bone structure different frame.  Your skin is different.  Your skin will stretch to a certain amount and that it will stop stretching.  At that point if you keep adding fat you wind up with a complication and possible fat necrosis.  This can your buttocks may not stretch anymore  and this may be the look you're able to have.I think a lot of people have one idea of beautiful in their head and keep chasing that look when there are millions of ways to be beautiful, not just one look.  Make sure your being objective in your evaluation of yourself.  If you saw someone walking on the street that looks just like you and you think they look good then you probably look good too.  If you keep this up you will get a complication and your results will probably look worse than they look now.  Do not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Hi. You are not to have 2 BBL's within 2 months, you need to wait at least a year to see final results from one to then revise it, and to allow the transferred fat to integrate completely to the receptor area.25 year experience American Society of Plastic SurgeonsInternational Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Optimal BBL results require a buttock specialist, artistic appreciation of the ideal butt, and proper communication of the desired buttock shape.Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). The optimal BBL 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.
