Brazilian buttock lift revision before and after photographs are constructive when appreciating possible improvements in buttock shape and size. Patients should evaluate these photos with a keen eye. The first thing to look at is the overall harmony of the buttocks. Is there a soft transition between the legs and the buttocks and, more importantly, between the upper buttocks and the narrowed waistline? This transition describes the “Tilde” curve.

Looking at Before and After Photos

What is the appearance of the skin quality? Does the butt look wrinkly, or is cellulite present on the legs? Does the buttock look droopy or too long in relation to the height of the back? These suboptimal results should not be present and necessitate a lateral thigh and buttock tuck. BBL revision before and after photos should demonstrate smooth contour lines with buttock and leg skin that is smooth.

Do Brazilian buttock lift revisions significantly differ between waist and buttock widths before and after photos? One of the main reasons I do BBL revisions is that the volume placed into the butt initially has disappeared.

Losing Buttock Volume

Patients on the internet often claim they only retain 60% of their volume 6 months after their surgery. Although this is an actual observation for many BBL results, it should not be so. The reason nearly half of the butt volume is gone at six months is multifactorial.

First, the plastic surgeon may not use ultrasound-assisted liposuction. Only ultrasound-assisted liposuction protects the fat cells from injury during the harvest process.

Traditional liposuction techniques require ripping out the fat cells, which results in nicks to the outer fat cell shell. As a result, your body removes the cells in your buttocks.

In addition, other reasons for fat loss are related to technical errors, including unnecessary higher negative pressures used during the sucking process or unnecessary positive pressures used during the injection. If the fat cells are not correctly washed to remove pro-inflammatory products and cells, this can result in loss of fat cell viability.

A final cause of fat cell injury involves the pretense that thinner patients must gain weight for their Brazilian buttock lift surgery. When we gain weight, the fat cells get larger, not more in number.

Unfortunately, a larger fat cell has less likelihood of making it through the small holes in the tip of the cannula used to remove the fat than smaller fat cells. As such, it is critical to avoid gaining weight for your BBL, no matter how thin you are.

Using ultrasound-assisted liposuction, 40% more fat can be harvested than traditional techniques. This makes it unnecessary for patients to worry about having enough fat to get the desired BBL results.

Schedule a Meeting for your BBL Revision

A consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons at SurgiSculpt will help you realize what BBL revision results you can achieve. Even if you feel that you are too thin to get a great result, a consultation with SurgiSculpt will allow an assessment of how much fat will be available for your BBL revision procedure.

This means no gaining weight and no need to buy a buttock pillow. An initial consultation with SurgiSculpt is highly encouraged if you need a BBL revision.
