Undergoing BBL Revision in Turkey is a difficult and often disheartening decision, especially after being disappointed by a “botched” primary BBL. If you are struggling with lumps, asymmetry, or an unnatural shape, please know that corrective options are available.
Why is a Botched BBL So Hard to Fix?
A “botched” BBL, characterized by uneven results, dents, or hard lumps (fibrosis), is often the result of an improper technique during the first surgery. The most common reasons include:
- Aggressive or Uneven Liposuction: Removing too much fat from one area and too little from another, creating dents and bumps.
- Poor Fat Placement: Injecting fat too superficially (close to the skin) or in large, concentrated clumps, which leads to lumps (fat necrosis) or an unnatural “shelf” shape.
- Inadequate Aftercare: Failure to follow post-operative care (like compression) can lead to fluid collections (seromas) that turn into hard scar tissue.
Revision surgery is highly complex because the surgeon must work through this existing scar tissue (fibrosis) to achieve a smooth result.
Clinic Care Center Expert Warning
A ‘botched’ BBL is an incredibly distressing result. The lumps and hardness are often fibrosis (scar tissue) caused by aggressive or uneven liposuction. BBL revision surgery is significantly more complex than a primary BBL. The surgeon is not working with ‘clean’ fat. The solution is not just adding more fat. It often requires advanced techniques like Vaser liposuction to break up scar tissue and smooth the area, followed by precise fat grafting to fill in dents and correct asymmetry. You must wait at least 6-12 months for all primary healing to complete before attempting a revision.
Common BBL Issues and Revision Strategies
| The Problem (Botched Result) | The Corrective Strategy (Our Approach) |
|---|---|
| Lumps / Hardness (Fibrosis) | Vaser liposuction to break down scar tissue & smooth. |
| Dents / Divots / Uneven Texture | Precise fat grafting (nano-fat) to fill depressions. |
| Asymmetry (Uneven volume) | Corrective lipo (from the larger side) + Fat grafting (to the smaller side). |
| “Square” or “Shelf” Shape | Re-sculpting the flanks/waist and re-shaping the transition. |
Potential Risks & Realistic Expectations
Revision surgery has a different risk profile than primary BBL. There is absolutely no “guaranteed” outcome. The primary risks include: (1) Asymmetry may be improved but not perfected. (2) Fat graft survival in scarred tissue can be less predictable. (3) A higher risk of contour irregularities (lumps) persisting. This is a corrective procedure; the goal is improvement, not perfection. A non-aggressive, realistic plan is the key to a better, safer outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why do I have lumps after my BBL?
Lumps (fibrosis) are hard scar tissue formations, often caused by aggressive liposuction or fat necrosis (fat cells that didn’t survive).
How long must I wait for BBL revision?
You must wait a minimum of 6 to 12 months for the scar tissue to soften and all internal swelling to fully resolve.
Is BBL revision harder?
Yes, secondary BBL surgery is significantly more difficult than primary surgery due to the presence of scar tissue (fibrosis).
What is Vaser lipo for fibrosis?
Vaser uses high-frequency ultrasound energy to break down and liquefy hard scar tissue and stubborn fat, which is essential for smoothing uneven areas.
Will I need to lose weight before my revision?
You should be at a stable, healthy weight; gaining or losing significant weight can compromise the revision results.
How much does BBL revision cost in Turkey?
The cost of BBL revision in Turkey is higher than primary BBL due to its complexity, but remains significantly more affordable than in the US or UK.
What is a BBL asymmetry fix?
This involves either removing fat from the larger buttock or adding fat (fat grafting) to the smaller buttock to achieve symmetry.
Can uneven BBL results be fixed?
Yes, uneven results caused by lumps and dents are the primary focus of BBL revision surgery.
Is fixing a botched BBL in Turkey safe?
Yes, provided you choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive, proven experience specifically in BBL revision cases, not just primary ones.
What is “fibrosis after BBL”?
Fibrosis is the medical term for the hard, lumpy, internal scar tissue that can form after traumatic or uneven liposuction.
Does uneven BBL result mean the surgery failed?
It means the aesthetic goal was not met, often due to technique, and it is a common reason patients seek botched BBL correction.
