I had a bbl with full body lipo done back in oct. At first my results looked amazing. Until the swelling went away. Thats when I noticed the indentations in my lower stomach. I also have a small fat pocket on my left hip and upper right thigh that bulges out. My right bottom butt cheeks dents in when I flex and the shape of my buttocks looks boxy. Im 5"4 and weighed 138 before surgery. I weigh the same. The doctor said he removed 4 pounds and put 600cc in each cheek and some in my hips.
Answer: BBL Revision expert There are many factors in a BBL that can be corrected. When we look at the harvest donor site, we often see large scars that are dark or raised. These can be improved with our pigmentation protocols. In terms of the BBL itself, we have found it useful to either add more fat, remove and sculpt fat, recontour the buttocks, or remove fat necrosis lumps. In some cases, the indentations seen require a combination of Venus Legacy, Exilis, or Brazilian Cellulite Treatments to remove the indentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: I had a BBL done back in oct. Is it too soon to have a revision? (photo) You will usually need at least 3 months before getting a revision. The revision implies that there is less fat than the first time, and scar tissue will make the surgery much more difficult on the surgeon. The percentage of fat survival in the BBL the second time should be about the same. Dents usually respond favorably to fat transfer.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Revision after a Brazilian Revision after a BrazilianMy general recommendation for any type of revision would be about three months. I feel that you have likely stabilized and should consider going ahead with a revision given what you are seeing in your photos.The hardest area is likely going to be the lower abdomen where it looks like a significant amount of fat was removed and then a regular pattern. This would likely require equalization of the fat around this area and possibly transfer to the abdomen as well. Best wishes. Dr. Spann

Answer: BBL revision You are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool ban be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or Facetime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
