Brazilian Butt Lift S/P Pilonidal Cyst?

The area was packed over the curse of 6 weeks allowing for formation of granulated tissue, rather than sutured due to extent of sinus tract and inflammed tissue. From time to time the area is sensitive and a pulling sensation is felt often accompanied with pain
