Scar revision options after BBL? (Photo)

Question

All my scars on the front healed and are barely noticeable the two scars from the cannula underneath my butt are super noticeable. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do to fix it? Although I asked for a slope, my butt never dropped its still sitting pretty high the V that was lipoed above my butt is higher and makes my back to butt look weird. I look great in clothes, but I am super uncomfortable wearing a bathing suit. Is this something that can be fixed?

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Dear Eclectic961711,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgical revision, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

The small incision scars can be easily revised. The shape of your buttock shows poorly preformed BBL. Only BBL REDUCTION/RESHAPING surgery can greatly improve your results. Fee from $6,500. Only very few PSs in USA are doing these cases. Please virtual consult.
