Stretch marks late after BBL - 5 months post-op. (Photo)

Question

I had a BBL about 5 months ago and haven‘t been seeing any stretchmarks or anything. Suddenly a couple of days i realized that i had a couple of red lines on my butt and they seem to be getting worse. Could they come from trauma for ex. falling on my butt? Could this be the reason or is it normal for stretch marks to show up this late? I’ve never really had stretch marks so I don’t actually know if they are stretch marks

Thank you for your picture and questions. Without an exam, it is impossible to give you an accurate assessment of your problem. Your surgeon is best equipped to help you and I encourage you to contact him or her to be seen.Good luck!

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Dear jaquiii,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. Generally speaking, BBL should not cause severe stretch marks. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
