I recently had a BBL done (lipo 360 & fat grafting in buttocks and hips) June 30th. I love results & everything went great till The 2nd week; I started getting really itchy!! When I looked in the mirror I had a bunch of like tiny pimples on my butt & hips :( it feels & looks like chicken pox also but it’s not! It’s very itchy & it keeps getting worst. Today is July 18th, went to see my surgeon & he said he’s never seen this with a patient, help!!

Dear dinbla47,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

I have had 2 patients in the past with an allergy to something in the material of the compression garment get a contact dermatitis similar to what your rash looks like. As soon as they stopped wearing the garment it went away. If you PS doesn't know then you might want to see a dermatologist.
