I had round one done 2 yrs ago and noticed the right cheek was longer and flatter than the left one shorty after surgery, but I wasn't until about 2 months when they started to soften, that I noticed the hard area with significant flatness that only got worst with time, I gave it more time and did all I could to avoid a revision but ended up making a revision app after the Doctor agreed. I paid $1,800 for it and ended with one cheek bigger than the other which is flat on the bottom and only has fat on the top, I'm beyond upset about this. I asked the doctor questions yesterday and he said the necrosis couldn't be aspirated because I would've end up with a scar on that cheek, and therefore he did what he could do, but he didn't placed much fat on the bottom which is the problem area, and I still have a huge dent left, I can't wait to recover and find other alternatives to fix this problem, I don't know who to trust anymore, I wish he would've explain this to me up front so I won't have to spend so much money and in hope for that cheek to be fixed.

Did you have a flat spot there before your first surgery? I went to a consultation with another doctor and he pointed out where I had a dent in my right butt check. He said it would be very difficult to hide it completely and sometimes a BBL can make asymmetry more noticeable. I wonder if that's what happened to you?

Don't understand why he didn't position the fat at the bottom....hopefully the fat will settle and smooth things out. Hang in there

had my revision with D.R Salama on monday

Hi girls, so I had my revision on Monday. It all started wrong, let me start by saying that I was scheduled for 1pm and they changed my time to 2pm I got there at 1:40 and he didnt see me until almost 4pm, ok. At the time he asked me what was my concern, and I told him about the huge flat spot that I developed in my right cheek along with a hard area, and some uneven lipoed in my tummy and back, so he tried to charge me $500 extra to do my arms because according to him I didn't have enough fat to fix my flatness, at the end he finally agree to do my arms at no extra charge sounds good right? So about the flat spot with hardness he said that it might be fat necrosis with some scar tissue built-in, that he could try to fix it ok? That's the reason why I came to him cuz of that disgusting flat spot on my right cheek that was super obvious, anyways revision happened, I woke up feeling like crap etc, so the next day I had a better chance to look at my butt and realized that the flat spot still there and he placed a huge shelf on top of my right cheek which makes it look way bigger than the other one, Later on I learned, that he placed 400 ccs in my right cheek and 200ccs in my left cheek, I truly hope this goes down so they can look even and the fat can move to the bottom cuz that's where the projection is needed, but if the fat stays there like in the fist time, not only im gonna end up having the same flat spot but im gonna have a shelf on my Right cheek only!! So
unfortunately right now the fat is sitting in the top, and I dont think he aspirated the necrosis, scar tissue or whatever it is I got there, to replace it with fat I mean cuz I'm sure that bad tissue is taking space for good fat to be injected. Right now I'm paranoid, my husband knows all the sacrifices I've done to get this revision done along with his help which he didn't agree first place for this same reason and I don't know how to explain this to him when I get there, I'm not satisfied with my revision for now, I will see the Doctor tomorrow let's see how it goes.

How you doing ? Sounds scary ,so you only pay $500 for revision? Its hard to judge with no pictures ,but hopefully it would go down since you have scar tissue ,I have but shelf but it's changing everyday it went down I was bitten by a dog when I was a child it got a little better but sometimes I see a flat from the side maybe it's just me ,I wish was rounder ,let's pray that dr knows what's he doing and your butt looks better just be patient (I'll give 6 months ) its change everyday,please post some pictures not to judge you ,maybe we see different and it's not bad as its sound,:)

I'm so sorry you have to go through all this. I had a bbl 3 weeks ago and one cheek has a very obvious flat spot that's now getting sore. Is that sort of how yours was? I wish all the best for you.
