BBL revision: is there any way I could have a BBL revision to reduce the size of my buttocks? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I had gotten a BBL done along with a BBL revision ( to round out the shape) a few years ago, however, after some wait gain, I've noticed that my behind has gotten larger than I would like. I prefer a more natural look ( my thighs don't look proportional to my buttocks). Would I have to get laser lipo to help me with this issue? If I exercise would the size of my butt reduce ?

It is possible to reduce the buttocks with liposuction (with or without laser), but exercise and weight loss may provide what you are seeking without the potential problems of buttock liposuction.  You may wish to try that first and if you don't see the result you want, seek a surgeon experienced with buttock liposuction (it's trickier than doing the enlargement procedure).

Cost factors vary significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:

1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.

2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?
     
       3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
    
       4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?

It can be very difficult to reduce the overall volume without potentially causing the buttocks to sag a bit.  Weight loss might be the best solution.
