8 weeks post 360 lipo and BBL I have pain my left buttock where the incision is when I sit. Do I have an infection?

Question

having pain in my left buttock where the incision is at no pus, no fever but that area gets hot can I get an infection inside? It hurts when I sit only on that side or is that part of healing?

Infection following a BBL is a very infrequent occurrence.  You need to be seen by your PS to determine source of your pain and appropriate treatment.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear  lizkwesso,
most common problems after fat transfer are fat necrosis and infection. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
