Is it possible to achieve cuffs with a 3rd BBL?

Question

Round 3 bbl add fat to lower buttocks. I have had 2 bbls and 1 extended tummy tuck with an arm lift. I'm not satisfied with the shape of my butt and it's uneven and botched and a lot of upper back fat left I wanted my surgeon to give me some cuffs and he didn't, even after my 2nd bbl. The bottom looks somewhat like a v in the middle and it's more full at the top I just want more fullness at the bottom like a heart but it looks like a heart with the cuffs cut off.

Well, unfortunately the lower buttock is one of several areas where the BBL fat survives quite poorly.
That being said, you are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, etc.). It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem.  Thus, going back for round 2+ BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss.   Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness.  Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Dear Thoughtful5554,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from revision surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I do not think you should have a third BBL. Your bottom already looks disproportionately large. There’s also cellulite which is often made worse by fat transfer.  in regards to a BBL but you have droopiness  of your lower inner buttocks and this requires a tuck to correct.

Check out do YouTube video called “the Miami thong lift”. by Dr. Mendieta in Miami.  That video describes the procedure you need perfectly.

Best,
