5'1, 120lbs, can fibrosis after my skinny BBL improve?
Skinny BBL land is full of minefields
May 16, 2023
I’m sorry for your plight. This is a common mishap in the world of skinny BBL‘s. People end up with an ass but in exchange for an abdomen and trunk that is destroyed and not aesthetically pleasing. Liposuction is the most important part of this procedure unfortunately and if you simply chase volume, you can damage peoples bodies.

I fix a lot of these for better, or for worse, and it can be very tricky. The correction typically involves Vaser-assisted disruption of fibrous, fat and adh...

How many ccs of fat will I be able to take out & inject into my buttocks?
Small volume aka skinny BBL
May 14, 2023
Even though a lot of the BBL culture and aesthetic emphasis is what one of my Brazilian patients called “vulgar” (which is very appropriate term), it can be in the right hands a very artistic and elegant procedure to embellish the female form. In my practice, you would be an easy dunk. The key is to harvest fat without deforming your physique. I do a lot of revisions, and I see a lot of destroyed bodies that come in to me who had too much fat taken out in the name of some ridiculous loo...
What can I do to reverse my BBL and breast augmentation after weight gain? 5 years post op
BBL reversal
Mar 17, 2023
I’m starting to see a lot of patients like you now. This is one of the downsides of the procedure in the context of an unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet and lack of exercise. With weight gain, the buttocks will mushroom. That’s why a more conservative approach is best. Targeted and precise liposuction can be used to reverse this along with downsizing your implants or just removing them. Good luck.
Can my distorted BBL be fixed? Buttocks, hips and thighs are uneven.
Revision BBL
Mar 17, 2023
I’m sorry for your struggles. This is one of the downsides of medical tourism. There are many upsides but unfortunately, this is one of the primary downsides. If you look carefully at your preoperative pictures, you were uneven. There should’ve been asymmetric fat grafting to address that. Your pre-existing concert irregularities or cellulite can be difficult to correct if at all with fat grafting. Good luck..
Is BBL revision (Round 2) less dangerous?
Risks after revision BBL
Mar 17, 2023
The risks of fat embolism, and overall risk is essentially the same. The risk of aesthetic complications is even higher because of the scar tissue and lack of fat present. It takes precision and experience with revisions. Find a surgeon who has that.
Lipo360 and BBL vs. Sculptra BBL - What's the best option for an athletic look?
Small volume BBL
Mar 17, 2023
The best way to cultivate ann athletic is by being athletic and training your body. Squats and lunges and core work are a cheap and safe way to embellish your midsection and backside. You do have some modest fat deposits over your hips and posterior trunk that could be targeted for the sake of liposuction and subtle fat grafting. It’s important not to overdo it or leave deformities. I do a lot of revision BBLs and I see women with your physique who were chasing unnecessary volume and end u...
How to fix hips after botched liposuction?
In person consultation required
Aug 27, 2022
I’m sorry for your struggles. That area can be very vexing especially when overresected. There are some blending techniques that can be used to correct superficial subcutaneous irregularities to some degree. The number of revisions you’ve had and also the use of laser makes it harder. I recommend an in person consultation to get a better feel for what’s going on with your soft tissues and what’s possible.

BBL candidacy
Mar 17, 2022
You have the appropriate anatomy for a BBL. The arms may not even be necessary. In person physical examination is necessary to process that part of the equation. Overall you are a good potential candidate.
Options to correct breast asymmetry?
Correction of breast asymmetry
Jan 28, 2022
A conservative breast reduction on the right (I prefer the vertical pedical technique to preserve projection and less flatness) and an augmentation on the left using either fat or an implant depending on your final size wishes.
5’2”, 110lbs, currently 32B, need size help
Breast augmentation recs
Jul 17, 2021
You are thin and have a reasonable native volume for your frame so achieving your desired look should not be too hard. Making a proper size choice requires thoughtful analysis, soft tissue examination, measurements and also consideration regarding future changes to your breast post-augmentation. I did an Aesthetic Surgery fellowship in LA and show the dark side of going too big so resist the urge to go with an implant that is too large for your native breast. Too large an implant can...
Is lipo or breast aug a priority for me to achieve better harmony of body features?
Body harmony and cosmetic procedures
Mar 3, 2021
You have a slim and athletic build which will put you in good stead over the course of your life in terms of health. A small implant fist and foremost could improve your overall aesthetics plus or minus judicious hip liposuction and possible fat grafting of the buttocks.
Will going larger make the difference my my breasts even more noticeable?
Breast asymmetry correction
Mar 3, 2021
An asymmetric implant and/or fat grafting would help your cause in providing more balance. Gaining weight for the sake of breast volume is not a great idea and I would recommend working on obtaining an optimal BMI for the sake of your health.
Would I be able to get lipo 360 with no tummy tuck and not have loose skin?
Tummy tuck?
Mar 3, 2021
Deflating the bag will most certainly loosen your skin. There are energy devices out there (both internal and external applications) that can help to a modest degree, but at the end of the day you need skin removal.
Would it be best to have a small vertical incision to help remove a lot of the skin in the middle of my
Tummy tuck options
Feb 16, 2021
You have a slightly unusual pattern of skin redundancy and effacement, but I have seen it before. An in-person consultation is always best, but I do believe a standard abdominoplasty with the "possibility" of a small vertical component just above the pubis should do the trick. A flour-de-lis abdominoplasty is more typically reserved for massive weight loss patients with substantial redundancy in both and vertical and horizontal planes.
What’s the best option for me if I have a small umbilical hernia and diastasis recti?
Umbilical hernia and rectus diastasis
Jan 27, 2021
A tummy tuck with rectus muscle repair and hernia repair is a commonly performed procedure and could address all your concerns. The hernia repair can stress the blood supply to the umbilical stalk during a tummy tuck and should be done with care. Breast procedures can be done simultaneously.
