Is it safe to get a round 2 BBL 4-5 months after round 1?

Question

Is it safe and ideal for better results to get round 2 bbl after 4-5months post op of round 1 bbl?

Ajaya Kashyap, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.You can have a second BBL in 6-7 months after the first one, especially if moderate amount of fat has been put in. It is better to have less amount of fat injected in a single sitting, and have the procedure repeated, rather than having large amounts of fat put in a single sitting. This makes the procedure safer and more of the fat can survive. Please discuss this with your surgeon or another experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can help you. All The Best !

Having the BBL done a second time is an option as long as the patient has enough fat to be transferred. 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 second BBL should be about the same as the first. The volume loss occurs over the first 6 weeks or so.  After that period of time the volume remains stable assuming weight is maintained. Wait six months to a year to evaluate results before scheduling a BBL revision. Your best answer will come from the PS who performed your first BBL.

Much of it depends on your reason for going for round two. If you had relatively scamper poor results from the first procedure and you’re likely to have similar results from round two. Also, at only 4-5 months post BBL the fat can still be settling in and/or melting away so you have not yet seen the final result. that all being said, BBL is the most deadly cosmetic surgical procedure performed nowadays. Hope this helps

Dear typeAchiq,
Most plastic surgeons will recommend you to wait until you are fully healed. You should wait at least 6 months in order to get a 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.
