Can I have BBL revision 3 mos. after initial BBL surgery if I get fat from areas that were NOT lipo'd (thighs,arms) before?

I_deserve_itNov 8, 2014
I had lipo on flanks, abs, and back only. I have plenty of fat in my arms, thighs, and even upper back to use for Brazilian butt lift revision. So I would like to have bbl revision 3 months after my initial bbl surgery using fat from areas that I didn't have lipo in.

There are many BBL surgeons, some better than others. You should find a BBL surgeon who does 6-8 BBLs per week and can show over 100 before and after pictures of their own patients. Also look for at least 150 five star Real Self Reviews. Regarding revision of your BBL, you will need to wait...

The price is entirely practice dependent. If it was planned to be staged than the cost may be included. If its a revision, typically surgeons only ask the patient to pay for the surgery center and anesthesia.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettBeverly Hills, CA

As long as you have been properly treated for the infection and you have no sign of recurrence after you have finished the antibiotics, you may be a candidate for another BBL. I would wait several months after for the tissues to get softer. This will likely make your BBL more successful. Please...

I would recommend like 3 to 6 months. This allows the areas of liposuction to soften and become more receptive to secondary treatment.
