Hi, I am 22 I’m 5’4 and weigh about 130 pounds. I had a bbl in maryland last year and now I am looking for more projection, my dr putt 700cc in cheek. My question is can I get another bbl and have dramatic change or should I go with implants? I don’t want to spend more money and not get the dramatic project.
Answer: BBL Thank you for the question. It depends on how much fat there is available to transfer to your buttocks. An in-person examination is needed in order to accurately determine this. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Answer: Considering round to BBL? You are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, etc.). It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem. Additionally, you appear to have nearly no fat for a second round BBL. Thus, going back for round 2 BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss. Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness. Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Answer: Second BBL A second BBL may be a good option if you really want to have a larger bottom. Projection can sometimes be inherently limited in certain parts of the buttocks because of connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying muscle fascia. This can be particularly true for the inner lower part of the buttocks. There are inherent limitations in what can be achieved with a single round of fat transfer. Typically secondary BBL‘s or second rounds of fat transfer are often more successful than the first because the area has more host tissue to support grafted fat from the previous graft.
