Read the reviews on BBL and discussed with a friend who reported fat/volume loss but decided it was an incidental thing and tried it myself. I hurt 4-5/10. Took about 45 minutes. Had the procedure done at a plastic surgery office and for 2 weeks following the treatment had horrible acne and then 2 weeks later (after the inflammation went down) started noticing the deflated look of my skin and it seemed my skin just was thinner and unable to hold onto any hydration/moisturizer. I actually mentioned the concern of fat/volume loss to the laser esthetician and the reviews on Realself right before the treatment. She said she had never heard anything of the concerns, but also knew nothing of Realself (shrug). Anyway, my skin is moderately brighter (benefit x 2) but the volume loss counteracts those benefits and I think I could have had alternative treatments without the significant volume loss so I would not have had the procedure knowing what I know now. Just my 2 cent's worth.
I have instead followed up with a number of microneedling + PRP treatments and finally see my skin looking like it did before the BBL treatment. I am just grateful that I decided not to go ahead with a second BBL treatment.
