I am a 5’ 10” tall female wweighing currently in at 150lbs. I am 42 years old and in good shape and try to eat healthy as possible. Back in April 2019 I had a Brazilian butt lift done with 5 1/2 liters of fat removed from my lower and upper stomach, flanks and lower back with 1000cc’s of fat transfered to each cheek. 4 years later after paying first the 14k for the bbl and then paying the same surgeon 3k more to correct his lipo job, I am now left with being severely self conscious. Please help
Answer: VASER Liposuction to Fix Previous Bumpy Lipo Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from certain areas of the body, and it can be used to correct uneven or unsatisfactory results from a previous Brazilian butt lift (BBL). However, whether or not liposuction is a viable option for correcting your specific results will depend on a number of factors, such as the extent and location of the previous liposuction harvest sites, the amount of fat that needs to be removed, and the overall condition of your skin. In your case, it is essential that not too much fat is removed with suction. This would lead to further dimpling and a worsening of your current results. Since you have scar tissue, cellulite, severe dimpling and have already had liposuction, I would HIGHLY suggest VASER liposuction. VASER liposuction can help to melt fat, disrupt scar tissue, and maximize skin contraction. Post-operative massage, especially lymphatic massage and the breaking up of cellulite will be very important. You may consider a Theragun for optimal scar break-up. It is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring to determine the best course of action for you. They can evaluate your specific situation, discuss your goals and concerns, and recommend the most appropriate procedure to achieve the desired results. In some cases, additional procedures such as fat grafting or skin tightening may be necessary in order to achieve optimal results. It is important to have realistic expectations and understand that there are always risks associated with any surgical procedure. Ultimately, the best way to ensure a successful outcome is to choose a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon who is committed to patient safety and satisfaction.

Answer: BBL I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling self-conscious after your Brazilian butt lift procedure. It's important to remember that cosmetic surgery is not a guarantee and results can vary from person to person. However, if you're feeling dissatisfied with the outcome of your surgery, there may be options available to you. Firstly, I recommend discussing your concerns with your surgeon. It's important to have an open and honest conversation about your expectations and what you feel was not achieved. Your surgeon may be able to provide recommendations for revision surgery or other treatments that can help improve your outcome. If you feel uncomfortable speaking with your original surgeon or if they are unable or unwilling to help, you may consider seeking a second opinion from a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your current situation and provide recommendations for revision surgery or other treatments. It's also important to have realistic expectations for the outcome of revision surgery. You may not achieve the exact results you're hoping for, but a skilled surgeon can work with you to improve the appearance of your buttocks and address any concerns you have. Finally, if you're feeling severely self-conscious, it may be helpful to speak with a therapist or counselor. They can provide support and help you work through any emotional challenges related to your surgery and body image. Best of luck !

Answer: Poorly done at Liposuction Delivering consistent quality, liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people believe. The number of plastic surgeons who can consistently deliver quality results, including making accurate assessments is relatively small. The consequences of juicing and inexperienced provider speaks for itself. Liposuction results are fairly permanent and irreversible. If done poorly the first time it becomes very difficult to improve on the outcome. Each time someone has a procedure the chance of having a quality outcome is reduced. Typically, some improvements are usually possible but a lot has to do with how the first procedure was performed. Converting the outcome to something that looks attractive becomes more difficult if the first procedure was done aggressively. The number of plastic surgeons who do Liposuction and fat transfer well on a consistent basis is small. For that reason, patients should be more selective then they think necessary when it comes to finding the right provider. I suggest patients do this they have a multiple in person consultations before scheduling surgery. I suggest patient start by having at least five in person consultations before choosing a provider. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who have similar body characteristics to your own. Ask providers to show you examples of excellent outcomes, average outcomes, and outcomes that did not turn out, as well as they had hoped. Providers may be apprehensive to do this, but patients should insist on seeing as efficient number of before, and after pictures to get a clear understanding of what typical results look like. And experience provider should have no difficulty showing at least 50 sets of before and after pictures. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
