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

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.It is difficult to evaluate the options without seeing photos,
It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a goodevaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know...
Thank you for your pictures. Your result looks excellent. You can have some irregularities but you are early in your recovery. Give the result 6 months to settle and heal. If there is a contour deformity after 6 months then repeat fat grafting is warranted.
Hello, thank you for your question.This could be fat necrosis or uneven healing from the procedure. An exam would be helpful in determining whether removal and fat grafting is an option. Schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
