It’s been 1 year and I have hard lumps in butt - am I able to get a revision in this condition? (photos)

Thank-you for your query. I am sorry you are having these painful lumps so long after the procedure. There is a possibility of fat necrosis, seromas or cysts that can form after buttock augmentation leading to lumps, but these tend to form early on. It would be easy to find out the reason for these lumps with an ultrasound examination. Seromas or cysts can be aspirated at the same time, with ultrasound guidance, Hard lumps from fat necrosis are more difficult to deal with, although I have occasionally used invasive radio frequency for a couple of small lumps in this situation , as well as curettage with a thin curette to remove an isolated lump. The first step, however, would be a detailed discussion and examination by your surgeon who can help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Dear Mzmillion,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

If you're experiencing hard lumps in your buttocks one year after your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery, it's important to consult with a skilled plastic surgeon who specializes in BBL procedures. They can assess your situation, determine the cause of the lumps, and recommend an appropriate course of action.Hard lumps in the buttocks after a BBL can be caused by various factors, including:1.) Fat Necrosis: Sometimes, areas of transferred fat can become hardened due to inadequate blood supply, a condition called fat necrosis. This can result in the formation of firm lumps.2.) Scar Tissue: The healing process after surgery can lead to the formation of scar tissue, which might feel firm or lumpy.3.) Seroma or Hematoma: Accumulations of fluid (seroma) or blood (hematoma) can lead to lumps as well.4.) Infection: Infections can lead to inflammation and the formation of firm tissue.5.) Calcifications: In rare cases, calcifications can form in the area where fat was injected.6.) Lipoatrophy: Sometimes, the body can reabsorb some of the fat transferred during a BBL, leading to uneven results.If you're experiencing any discomfort, pain, or changes in your appearance due to these lumps, it's a good idea to consult with a plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your condition and recommend an appropriate treatment plan, which might include a revision surgery to address the lumps and improve the appearance and feel of your buttocks.It's crucial to communicate openly with your plastic surgeon, share your concerns, and work together to determine the best approach for your situation. Keep in mind that a revision surgery might have its own risks and considerations, so it's important to have a thorough discussion with a qualified medical professional before making any decisions.
