Hello, I had my BBL procedure a year ago and recently (the past 3 months or so) I’ve started to gradually lose volume in the sides and top of the buttocks. My hip dips have sort of come back and the top of the butt is flat and the skin is very saggy. Tried one treatment with Sculptra and it seemed to improve it a little, but unfortunately the top of the butt is still very very saggy. What can I do to improve this condition? I really don’r want to go under the knife for it again.

Answer: Disappointment with BBL result Hi and welcome to our forum!The fat grafted into the buttocks usually has a 60-80% survival rate. Thus as healing proceeds, the volume of the buttocks will decrease. Swelling decreases during this time as well. This usually occurs over the first 6 months. Later fat loss may be attributed to weight fluctuation.Without before and after pictures it is impossible to be more precise, but it sounds as though you may be a candidate for a secondary procedure. Sculptra is short lived. Seek advice from your plastic surgeon.Best wishes...

Answer: Saggy BBL You are still in the early stages of recovery at 3 months out. However, it is normal for some of the fat that was injected to resorb or die off. Please wait until around 6 months to consider a revision and go see a board certified plastic surgeon.Providing photos would be helpful and would allow me to give you a more thorough answer. Best of luck!
