Asked By:Free1980 in Orlando, FL

I had 2 bbl 2 years apart. The latest one was just 3 weeks ago. The first time my butt look good for only 2 weeks. The doctor said he only tranffered 300cc which seem no where near being enough. Once the swelling went down it was right back from where i started. And now I'm 3.5 weeks post (BA, lipo to arms, flanks,back and abdomen transfer 500cc each cheeks) and i can already see my butt going flat again. I followed all of my PS instructions but can't get my fat to survive. What am i doing wrong?

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS says:

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  ...
