BBL Revision

I had a BBL done in Miami two years ago for my 30th birthday. Recovery was hard and painful but I loved my results for about 16 months. However,
the fat dropped and looked fake and odd-shaped even though I weighed the same, had good skin quality, and got only a moderate amount transferred for a natural look. I originally went to Dr. Mercado for a liposuction revision consultation due to a lot of fibrotic tissue, but decided against it because of the cost. Recently I decided to go through with a revision because I became so self-conscious about how I looked I leggings and people constantly asking if my butt is fake. I finally did it this past Saturday and even though I am still swollen I already see a major difference and am much happier.

Adding pics. Less projection and fat on lower pole. He said he removed about 200 cc on one cheek and 150 cc on the other.

Initially I was happy with the results of a very conservative revision the the understanding that more could be taken it later. I also was under the impression that a revision would only be $1000 per area if I did end up wanting more taken out. After the swelling settled, I realized it was still too big, unnatural, and uneven, so I went for a follow up Dr. Mercado and expressed my concerns. He agreed that more could be taken and Jared ran the quote. He came back with a quote of $8000. I asked him about the revision costs given to me up front and said they said 1000 per area. Jared talked to the doctor and he said that because it was a difficult area, that was the reason for the high quote. I walked out of there pissed and hav decided to never use Dr. Mercado again, because if I had known a revision would cost another 8k, I would have gone somewhere else. I felt like they were trying to squeeze me for money rather than make me a happy patient. I have done a 180 on my feelings towards this practice and will not be back.
