Whats the best treatment to get rid of fat necrosis after BBL? (Photos)

Question

I had a BBL done in 2010 which left me with what it looks like fat necrosis. The middle in both cheeks is hard and makes my butt look flat. I am looking for procedures to get rid of this dead fat. Whats the best option available? Will these treatments leave a dent on my butt? Thank you!

Rodrigo Rosique, MD, PhD · Answer

Dear, sorry to hear about that. Fat necrosis is associated with high volume fat transfer. To diminish this tissue without direct excision and external scar, I would recommend to suction the hard tissue and perform a multi-layered fat graft to fill the depressions and turn the tissue softer. Best regards.

Hello, thank you for your question.This could be fat necrosis or uneven healing from the procedure.  An exam would be helpful in determining whether removal and fat grafting is an option. Schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear biggerbooty,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but you will most likely need a liposuction of that area. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for the pictures.  I am sorry to hear about the firm areas from your BBL in 2010.  I would not recommend removing the firm areas or having liposuction performed on those areas.  Your options for increased projection may be gluteal implants or staged fat grafting.  Best wishes

Hello,
The unwanted areas can be treated with liposuction to decrease their size, possibly with some additional fat added. Good luck.
