I had a BBL and after 2 weeks the fat traveled down to my leg. Why did this happen? I am now 6 months post operation and there's a big ball of fat in one leg only and my right butt cheek is smaller than my left too. I had the BBL done twice and both with same results. What would your recommendations be to fix this?

Answer: Why did my BBL fat travel down to the back of my leg?
Thanks for your question.You're not at increased risk of getting a fat embolism compared to other patients if the fat is placed over the muscle. You appear to have enough room to inject fat in that department. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello, This is a pretty standard garment for right after surgery. Typically after a BBL you want to have compression on the lipo spots and no compression on the buttock region so this seems appropriate. All the best!Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
