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 after BBL Fat necrosis is, unfortunately, very frequent complication of fat transfer. Fortunately, we do not see such a large mass, like in your case that frequently. Correction includes selective liposuction and fat grafting. In some cases, direct excision of scarred mass may be needed. Only on the basis of in person evaluation, a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in fat grafting/body contouring surgery, can give you possible options of treatment. Good luck.

Answer: Considering revision BBL for fatty necrosis… You are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, etc.) as most of the fat melts away. It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor nor liposuction technique but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem. Thus, going back for round 2 BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss. Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness. Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.
