Can a BBL fix injection granulomas? (Photo)

Question

Long story short, I have had these "scars" on my glutes since I was 18, I'm 28 now. They were a result of getting injections in my glutes to treat malaria. The one on the left got infected and burst outward while the right just looks like a depression. When I press on the left scar area it feels like there's something hard and vertical in there. Both hurt when massaged. I have a BBL scheduled for Nov this year. Can it be fixed that way?

Dear Chocolate_city,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I highly recommend having a few in person, consultations before considering BBL surgery. The contour problem on your buttocks is not related to a lack of volume. This will most likely not be corrected with fat grafting, and can make the condition worse.
And thorough in person consultation should’ve explained this to you.
I don’t think a BBL alone is going to get you the outcome you’re looking for. You situation is complex and deserves proper evaluation.
If you have not done so already, I suggest having multiple in person, consultations with plastic surgeons, who have a proven track record with this procedure to explain your candidacy, including what the procedure can, and cannot accomplish.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom, MD
