My but is high up my back 6 weeks post-op, do I need more liposuction?

Question

Hello. I had a BBL 6 weeks ago with liposuction of the power back area ( the fat right above my butt) and the flanks. I am really frustrated that my flanks are still there, and my butt looks like it starts high up from the flanks so it looks “long” right now. Is this swelling that will eventually subside or should I perform another lipo for the flanks. Thank you

It is hard to say without at least seeing photos. I will say that there is an art to shaping the buttocks/hips with a BBL and some body types are more difficult than others. There are more than one desired result by patients, so it is important to communicate with your PS what your goals are. The shape you have may be what another patient would be really happy with  while it is not what you wanted.

It's difficult to get a full understanding of your case without photos or a consultation.  It sounds like you may be a candidate for Vaser revision.  Vaser is the only technology that can remove both the superficial and deep fat layers to maximize contour and symmetry. A buttock assessment tool to get an idea of the shape and projection you'd want.  Contact a Vaser specialist, via Skype or Facetime, to get a better understanding of your case.
