I am heartbroken. I had a BBL almost 2 years ago, April 2018. I specified multiple times I wanted a natural butt and not very big. I mostly wanted my love handles removed and a small fat transfer. I feel like it gets bigger and bigger as time goes on. I feel self conscious wearing bathing suits now because it obviously looks fake. What procedures would I need to help this look more natural, if anything at all? Without me getting further botched? Thank you.

Answer: More natural appearing buttocks The last six months I am getting more patients seeking revision of the buttocks. In overall people want a smaller more natural appearing products. My approach to the revisions of the buttocks involve both liposuction and fat injection. The goal of the procedure is to match the buttocks to the person's frame. If the buttocks matches the frame it looks natural, if the buttocks doesn't match the frame it looks fake. Trying to put a cookie-cutter fat transfer where one buttocks fits everyone doesn't work.The other thing you said about the buttocks is getting bigger over time is true. Remember when you do a fat transfer you've taken the problem area from the stomach and love handles and those same problem area fat cells have been moved to the buttocks and hips so the buttocks and hips becomes the new problem area where you gain weight first and lose weight last. If you try to make the buttocks to big it will get bigger over time. If the buttocks matches the rest the body you should keep your look over time.

Answer: BBL Revision It is certainly possible to remove some volume from your butt using a liposuction technique. The revision will be trickier than the first surgery because you now may have some scar tissue that needs to be accounted for. Make sure you get back in for a consult and examination with either your original doctor or someone else who has a lot of experience with BBL revision.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. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
