6 months ago i did a mommy make over everything else im comfortable with except my BBL.. i follow doctors orders eventhough i was in pain. i talked to my plastic surgeon and he wants to charge me like is a new procedure rather than a correction or is he right? What is the average cost of a revision? And im scared to pay again and that i have the same results.. i have the gastric sleeve, is it my sleeve the reason im not retaining the fat transfer ?

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift Fat retention rates will vary widely depending on the methods and expertise of the doctor you choose to do the procedure.

Answer: BBL was not as I expected after a revision, what is the percentage of fat retained? Is it the same % as the first one? It all depends on what was done. A significant amount of fat must be transferred for you to have a lasting result as 30-50% of the fat volume injected will be lost over the first 3-6 months after the surgery. Also, if a good majority of the volume injected was fluid (the PS did not separate the fluid off well), then your body just absorbs that fluid. Sometimes PS charge more to do a revision if the patient had the first procedure from someone else as it is more work to fix what someone else didn't do correctly. It is hard to give you advice without seeing before photos. It is up to each PS on how they handles "revisions". If he is going to charge you full price to do the procedure again, you may want to consider shopping around to make sure you get the best possible result.
