BBL AFTER A YEAR - i am having pain on my left side of my ass.. where the fat was stored! What does that mean?

Hi, it's impossible to know without examination. You should see your plastic surgeon or family doctor at least to be examined.Could be something not related to your surgery. 

Thank you for your question! That is not normal being a year out! I would consult with your plastic surgeon and get evaluated.  Best of luck!Dhaval Patel

Thank you so much for sharing with us your concern.
Pain after a year of your surgery is not normal. Without a proper examination we cannot tell you what could be the problem. Contact your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and let him/her know your concern and he/she can determinate what is the problem and also provide you a resolution. 
Best of luck,
Dr. Quiroz! 

Dear jennaugo1,
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. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks by transferring fat from other areas of the body: Brazilian butt lift (BBL)ProcedureFat is removed from other areas of the body, such as the thighs, hips, lower back, or belly, and injected into the buttocksGoalTo improve the shape and volume of the buttocks, and sometimes to create an hourglass figureResultsMore rounded and fuller buttocks, and sometimes a smaller-looking waistRisksExpensive, can be dangerous, and there are no guaranteed resultsRecoveryPain is usually minimal, and full recovery takes about six monthsMaintenanceResults should last for many years, but it's important to maintain a stable weightA BBL is different from a traditional "lift" procedure, like a breast lift or facelift, because it doesn't improve sagging or excess skin. A BBL is also different from other butt lift techniques because it doesn't use implants. Candidates for a BBL should have good skin tone in their buttocks and hips, be in good health, and not have medical conditions that would impair healing.

Hello. I cannot really think about a cause for your pain, but I recommend you to talk to your surgeon and follow his instructions, and or also go to your primary doctor to look what is happening.28 year experience

It's seems like could be something Not related with your previous BBL.
I do recommend you to see your surgeon or doctor to diagnosis what is caused your pain.

Hi, it's impossible to determine the cause of your pain without a complete examination. After a year, it not seems to be related to your surgery. Anyway, it's a good idea to go to see your doctor or another physician. Good Luck!

After a year, you should not have too much discomfort.  It sounds like you need to your surgeon to get a full examination and history to determine how to proceed.  

Persistent pain one year after a BBL is not normal. You should see your PS for an evaluation to make sure all healed okay.
