Can the BBL incisions be less noticeable on the back of a person's body?

Question

I noticed the majority of ladies who has had a BBL back scar are very noticeable and does not blend into the natural creases of the body. What are some different incision options? How many incisions are need for a BBL? Is there a secret to making the incisions less noticeable?

Hello db3709,
It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Because VASER Liposuction incisions are very small (of less than 1 centimeter in length), the scars are also small and are usually placed in hidden areas. The amount of degree of scarring depends on the plastic surgeon’s technique and your genetic tendencies. Most liposuction scars fade and are barely perceptive over time. Visible scars are more likely when large liposuction cannulas are used, and in patients who have darkly pigmented skin. This side effect is diminished by the minimally-invasive VASER Liposuction using micro-cannulas of less than 4 mm in outside diameter. Using micro-cannulas for liposuction can require a little more time than using larger cannulas, but micro-cannulas permit both the removal of more fat and smoother results. I would recommend avoiding the exposition of scars to the sun for at least the first 2 months after VASER Liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL). If sun exposure is unavoidable, make sure to use a high protection sunblock (SPF 30 or greater). Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol It is very important that you talk to him about your concerns and goals.
Typically liposuction/BBL on this areas will require 3 - 5 small incisions, hidden In the belly button, below the bikini line and above the buttocks.
Hope this helps. Good luck :)
