I had a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) procedure done 7 years ago and am no longer happy with the results. Can I do a buttocks reduction?
After a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), it is possible to undergo a buttocks reduction if you’re unsatisfied with the results. Most patients become dissatisfied due to changes in fat volume, shifting of the transferred fat, or changes in body aesthetics over time. However, secondary liposuction in an area previously treated with fat transfer can be riskier. The scar tissue from the initial procedure can make the subsequent liposuction more challenging and might lead to irregularities in contour. It’s crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your specific situation and risks.

Is a Lip Lift a permanent solution?
A Lip Lift procedure can provide long-lasting results; however, it is important to understand that the aging process and natural changes in the tissues over time can affect the outcome. While the effects of a Lip Lift can be long-lasting, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow proper post-operative care to optimize the longevity of the results. Your surgeon will provide you with personalized advice on how to care for your lips after the procedure to help ensure the best possible outcome.
