I had BBL About 3 years ago. I am not happy with the results. I wanted to know if it would be possible to fix it so that it does not look like a chicken butt. Please advise!
Answer: Fix for BBL results 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. Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging. 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.

Answer: BBL revision Dear Hotlatina, 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: Not happy with BBL results - possible to fix? Maybe no surgeon can ever guarantee results especially in redoing a BBL. That is why there are only a handful or less of boarded PSs(like myself) offering to even attempt to reshape a BBL gone south. The revision is called a reshaping lipo/BBL fees in the $8,000 ranges.

Answer: Revision BBL I would need to see you in person and discuss exactly what you dislike about your buttock size and more importantly the shape. I see several areas that could be improved, but I see things differently than you. Best wishes. Dr. Taranow

Answer: BBL revision The Primary area you brought up of concern which is Drew penis of the lower in her buttocks can only be corrected with a tuck. The best description of the procedure is a YouTube video by Dr. Mendieta called the Miami thong lift. I suggest you watch that video to get a better understanding of how that area is treated then find a plastic surgeon who can help you with it. Not all plastic surgeons will have experience with this so you’ll need to call around. It’s easy to play Monday morning quarterback but to me your BBL does not transition correctly to your thighs and is somewhat overdone. All too often plastic surgeons will purposely liposuction the upper thigh in order to make the buttocks look larger. This creates a very unnatural transition from the bottom to the thigh which should be a sloping smooth S curve. When discussing the outcome of a procedure patients should always post proper before and after pictures. It’s very difficult to discuss the outcome of a procedure that reference I want someone looked like before.

It’s very difficult to discuss the outcome of a procedure that reference I want someone looked like before. If you don’t have proper before and after pictures then ask your provider to forward the ones they took. The chicken butt or droopy Ness of the lower inner buttocks cannot be corrected with Liposuction or fat transfer. Patients who have this should be told that this requires a different procedure so that they have a clear understanding of what a BBL can and cannot deliver. Follow up with your provider or schedule second opinion in person consultations with other local providers. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
