Question

I had bbl a year ago and i have been experiencing hardening on my right butt cheek just a month ago. I have been working out my glutes and i thought it was just sworeness but the hardness will not go away. The right side looks slightly bigger but a lot of people dont notice it. What should i do ?

Thanks so much for reaching out. That harness could represent fat necrosis. It may just be a little uncomfortable you can try pressure massage which may break it up.  In the event that doesn’t help and it is still bothering you you can have it surgically removed.I hope this helps :-)

Hardness may represent fat necrosis and you should review this with your surgeon in person. Best of luck.....

Thank you for your question.  Firmness is not uncommon after a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery.  It is usually first noticed shortly after the surgery and may improve with time and massage.  It is unusual to develop new firmness and asymmetry this far out from surgery.  I would recommend following up with your operating surgeon for evaluation.  This may require diagnostic testing such as a CT scan or MRI.  Good luck.
