Are My Lumps OK After BBL?

Thank you for your question.  Again, medical tourism is always a risk and often, the money one saves by going to "less expansive countries" is not worth the headaches AND money required to fix the situation.  Standards of care, safety, technologies and credentials are often different across the world and you have in North America (USA and Canada) some of the highest standards of care and best qualified plastic surgeons.  And more, the surgeon who performed your procedure is not close to you now.  Keep this in mind for the next procedure you might consider in the future.

Now, it is hard to comment on the lumps without pictures and without a physical examination.  It is still in the early phase of recovery and it may still have a chance to settle.  But when fat is injected in a large amount at once in the buttocks, the fat cannot survive and becomes necrotic... and could be lumpy and the risk of infection is higher.  

For those reasons, fat grafting in buttock augmentation (BBL or #brazilianbuttlift) has to be done carefully, meticulously and in hundreds and thousands of small tunnelings...

You should definitively see a local qualified plastic surgeon for an assessment and recommendations.

Good luck,

Without seeing you in person or seeing pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice.  However, this is another case of why not to go to DR or other far away places for plastic surgery.  The little money that you save will quickly be used up in situations like yours where you are going to have to see a local plastic surgeon to fix your issue.  You live in NYC and have world-class plastic surgeons here.  I recommend that you book a consultation to address your issue.

 

Good Luck.
