I've read that during a BBL, a surgeon will only be able to inject as much fat as the patient's skin allows. Meaning that once the skin has been stretched, no further expansion is possible. Do patients who get a round 2 of BBL do so because their skin is still capable of taking in more fat, or is it because the skin has adapted to the previous BBL and now allows further expansion? Thank you.

Answer: Skin expansion and 2nd BBL Hello, thanks for your interesting question. It is indeed that there are some limitations as the skin laxity and the available amount of fat to transfer. When the patient wants too much volume and there is no room to graft because the skin is too tight, the patient might need to return for a round 2, when the skin has already stretched and it would accept another round of grafted fat. Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!

Answer: Indications for a secondary BBL A substantial percentage of the fat injected will not survive. As the fat dissipates the buttocks will shrink and allow for more volume to be added at a later date.
