BBL Revision: Everything You Need to Know

Are you considering a BBL revision? Maybe you’re unhappy with the results of your first Brazilian Butt Lift or your body has changed since the initial surgery. Whatever your reason may be, a BBL revision is a common procedure that can help you achieve the look you desire.

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that has become increasingly popular over the years. The procedure involves removing fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the buttocks to enhance their size and shape. While the majority of BBLs are successful, some patients may require a revision surgery for various reasons.

What is a BBL revision?

A BBL revision is a secondary surgery that aims to correct any issues with the initial BBL. The procedure can involve removing or adding fat to the buttocks, fixing any asymmetry or unevenness, or addressing any complications that may have occurred after the initial surgery. The goal of a BBL revision is to improve the appearance of the buttocks and help the patient achieve their desired look.

Reasons for a BBL revision

There are several reasons why a patient may require a BBL revision, including:

  • Unsatisfactory results from the initial BBL
  • Changes in body weight that have altered the appearance of the buttocks
  • Complications from the initial surgery, such as infection
  • Asymmetry or unevenness in the buttocks
  • The desire for further enhancement or refinement of the buttocks

Am I a good candidate for a BBL revision?

If you’re considering a BBL revision, you must be in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. It’s also essential to wait until you have fully recovered from the initial BBL before undergoing a revision surgery. You should also discuss your goals and concerns with your plastic surgeon to determine if a BBL revision is the right option for you.

What happens during a BBL revision procedure?

The exact procedure for a BBL revision will depend on the individual patient’s needs and goals. However, in general, the surgery involves removing or adding fat to the buttocks to improve their shape and symmetry. The surgeon will typically use Liposuction to remove fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and inject it into the buttocks. The surgery may take several hours to complete, and the patient will be under general anesthesia.

Risks and complications of a BBL revision

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and complications associated with a BBL revision. These can include:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Blood clots
  • Nerve damage
  • Fat embolism
  • Asymmetry or unevenness in the buttocks
  • Poor wound healing
  • Scarring

It’s essential to discuss these risks with your plastic surgeon before undergoing a BBL revision and to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions carefully to minimize the risk of complications.

Recovery after a BBL revision

Recovery after a BBL revision can take several weeks, and it’s essential to follow all post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing. Patients will need to avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks for a few weeks to allow the fat grafts to settle into their new position.

They will also need to wear a compression garment for several weeks to help reduce swelling and support the buttocks. Most patients can return to work and light activities after two weeks, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.

Conclusion

A BBL revision is a common procedure that can help you achieve the look you desire. Whether you’re unhappy with the results of your initial BBL or your body has changed since the surgery, a revision can address any issues and improve the appearance of your buttocks. However, it’s essential to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon and to discuss your goals and concerns to determine if a BBL revision is the right option for you.
