Botched BBL: my butt now looks deflated and flat.

Question

Recently had a bbl a month ago, I’ve been hospitalized with infections, and my butt now looks deflated and flat bc they fat they injected some of it was just sitting in my body not getting absorbed so they drained it, now I’m left with a super saggy deflated spot on my butt, how am I fix this? Will sculptra fix it or will I need another bbl? I don’t have much fat left from the first bbl, it’s not my whole butt cheek just that spot in the side

This type of problem will require waiting another 3-4 months to decide on a treatment. The best material to use to fill this defect will be your own fat. Good luck.

Dear Fisherdoll17,
it would be best to wait until you are fully healed from your first surgery. After that you can discuss your options with your plastic surgeon or ask for a second opinion. Most likely you will need another fat transfer in order to repair the defect.

The best thing to do is give your body time to heal. You need to wait 6 months to 1 year after the first surgery to allow tissue to soften down and the final result to come through. At that point the decision can be made if you have enough fat to inject or if sculptra is the best option.
