Should I request a BBL revision? (Photo)

Question

I got a BBL over 3 months ago and I look exactly the same and I'm debating asking for a revision. My doctor is suggesting sculptra injections but they only last a few years. I wanted a fuller perkier butt and slimmer sides and nothing looks different. Would a revision be at my cost?

Although you may seek a revision from your existing surgeon or another one, do not expect a much different outcome....and definitely do not waste your hard earned money on the minuscule results of Sculptra that only lasts, maybe, a year. If you’re looking for a more reliable, predictable and permanent result, buttock implants are your best option. Glad to be of help.

Dear aC3dss946ya,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a BBL surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides, you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

Hello, thank you for your question. Having the BBL done a second time is an option as long as you have 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 BBL the second time should be about the same. Select a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed numerous successful  BBL revisions is key to the outcome.

Hello, thank you for your question and provided information as well..
Based in your question and the pictures you  showed, you are a great candidate for a BBL revision but please, first wait 4 more months to see the final result of your body. Then, you could make an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals.
Best of lucks.
Dr. Luis Mejia.

You should wait at least six months after an operation before getting any revision work done. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
