I am 4 days post BBL and lypo to inner and outer thighs. My butt looks horrible. Nothing like the surgeon promised! He put all the fat the the top and none at the bottom and the bottom is flat. He says he extracted 3200 cc of fat and put 530 cc in each buttock. I have complained 3 times already that they shape ia wrong and they keep telling me it will change over time and that the fat will shift down. I don't believe this after looking at tons of other post BBL pics here on realself. What can I do? I am so upset. I paid so much money and he promised me the butt I wanted and now it looks awful. Will it really shift down? I think I'm gonna have to have a second BBL to fill in the bottom but I shouldn't have to pay again!

Hi Leslie, I'm not sure who you went to but I'd first like to say that it seems like you were significantly overcharged. I had my bbl + breast lift with augmentation here in San Diego and I paid $13000 total that included the 10 areas that needed to be lipo'd in order to have enough fat to transfer. For the bbl all the fat is transplanted to the top and middle of the buttock. Mine was performed similarly. What you are referring to is known as the drop and fluff when the fat softens it should settle and expand but this takes time. I am still in the very beginning stages of this process and my butt is still very hard on the top and middle where the fat was placed. Unfortunately these things take time to see results and I hope your PS didn't fill you with hopes and dreams of walking out of his office looking like JLo or Nicki Minaj. If I were you I would seek out another surgeon or two just for consultation purposes to see what their opinions are on your procedure and what they would have done differently. I'm wondering why you chose your inner and outer thighs rather than your abodomen and flank areas? You would see more results contouring your waist rather than your legs. Good luck either way and I hope you come across a surgeon that can keep it real with you about what alterations and expectation you can make when it comes to changing your body.

I had lypo to fha abdomen and lower back as well. Morning of the surgery they told me that the lypo of my inner and outer thighs was never included despite us having talked about it at the initial consultation and told me I had to pay an extra $5175! My butt looks nothing at all like my wish pic and I keep complaining and they keep telling me it will change with time. I feel like they not only pulled one on me for the extra $5k the day of surgery, but they didn't give me the butt I was promised. Can I Sue?? What can I do??

I wish I had answers for you in regards to your legal questions but that's simply another consult that you would have to get. I still recommend you consult with some other PS just to receive additional recommendations from professionals in the field. I know that you should have a written estimate that should have been taken well in advanced of your surgery which outlines all procedure you were having performed you really need to dig up all your paperwork so you can have your documentation ready for whatever path you choose to go down in this process. Keep us updated in your process and I truly wish you the best of luck.

Why on earth Dr remove over 3000cc to only put back a 10000? I think you should go back and perhaps he will offer a revision.
Good luck girl

3 weeks post surgery and still disappointed.

I am now 3 weeks post op (BBL and Lipo of inner & outer thighs) and I am still very disappointed and I see very very little change to my body. I feel as though I wasted $14,000 on nothing! Had I known I would get so little results and my butt would look nothing like promised I NEVER would have done it! I could have done a lot with that $14000! I have expressed my concerns to about 1000 times to the staff and they keep telling me it will take time to see the results. First they told me 3 weeks. Then they said 6-8 weeks and even up to 6 months. While I understand that there is swelling, I feel that there should be a noticeable difference at 3 weeks, but there is not. I feel I look nearly the same as I did pre surgery. He told me he lipo'd 3200CC of fat, so why can't I see a difference? Why is my abdomin not flat if that much fat was lipod out? Why are my outter thighs still lumpy and why do my inner thighs still touch? My main concern is that there was not enough fat transferred into my buttock and I know I am going to require a second BBL. I was VERY VERY clear to the surgeon about the size and shape buttock I wanted and my butt looks nothing at all like that. All the fat was transferred to the top of my butt and none was transferred to the bottom so it looks awful. The day of my initial consultation I showed him multiple photos of what I wanted and he told me he could do that because I had enough fat in my abdomin and lower back to transfer to my butt. We also discussed how I had a large butt to begin with, but it was all at the top of my butt and lower back and that the bottom of my butt was flat. So I dont understand why he would not transfer a lot of fate bottom of my butt. I also provided them with a printed collage of multiple examples of the size and shape butt I wanted at my 2 week pre-op appt because I wanted to reinforce the size and shape I wanted. The surgeon came into the room the day of my surgery holding and looking at that collage I gave them so I just do not understand why he did not give me what he said he could! There should have been zero miscommunication about what I wanted. I dont even understand how he could think that the size and shape of my butt are even decent. It looks awful. I will post updated pics to show how mishapen it is and how it is flat on the bottom. I have a post op with him on July 31 and I am hoping and praying he will agree to do a revision surgery and transfer more fat to the bottom of my butt. I cannot afford to pay for a second surgery, nor do I feel I should have to because he did not produce the results he promised.

Hey hun . I'm sorry to hear that you are not happy with your result. I hope that you can explain your concerns to your surgeon again. I honestly think that he should refund you your money back. I would t want him to do revision especially when he mess it up the first time already. I'm 5 going into 6 weeks post op and my result is a huge difference. You should be able to tell by now. Good luck!

Oh I am so sorry! Some surgeons prey on patients and that's not right. It's clear no work was done on you or it was very minimal he should give you your money back.
