I had a bbl 5 years ago and now have fat necrosis on the top of the left side of my butt. It is very hard and noticeable. Is there a doctor preferable on the east coast that can remove t necrosis and reshape my butt?

Answer: Fat necrosis and revision In order to make an assessment on the outcome of a procedure need to see a proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have a before and after pictures and asking the surgeon who did your procedure to forward the ones they took. Removing the fat necrosis should probably be done as a separate procedure then the revision but it’s possible both could be done at the same time depending on what you’re trying to achieve and the amount of fat necrosis. we can’t really assess fat necrosis based on pictures. Sometimes it’s better to leave necrotic fat in place. If it bothers you enough to have it removed it needs to be done with open excision. Because that necrosis can be diffuse in multiple areas this can make it a complicated procedure that is either limited or becomes quite invasive. Your situation is complex and you will definitely need an interesting consultation for an assessment. Secondary procedures are always much more difficult than primary procedures so take that into consideration when it comes to finding a sufficiently skilled provider. Start by talking to the surgeon who did your procedure and continue scheduling more consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons in your community who have experience with the procedure as needed.
