I had fat necrosis after my BBL. Now I have a black mark and a dent in that spot. I also have a hard small lump that you can feel if you rub my butt. At preop I stressed the fact of my buttocks being 2 diff sizes. After my BBL I look better but 1 cheek is still larger and more rounded than the other. Basically doctor didn't fix the concerns I had at preop and my reasoning for getting a second BBL.

Answer: Surgeons obligation to operate Surgeons are not obligated to do elective surgical procedures and certainly not cosmetic surgical ones.Not taking care of certain complications could be considered malpractice. Having undesirable outcomes as part of surgery and something that patients generally agree to by signing consent forms.Secondary procedures are far more difficult the primary procedures and patients should keep expectations in line.Asymmetry In size and shape is not related to fat distribution but is almost always based on skeletal structure. Sometimes asymmetry cannot be successfully corrected.Each provider has the Ron level of comfort in regards to doing a revision work as well as doing surgery which may or may not be helpful.Just because you had a symmetry or concerns before surgery doesn’t mean that those can necessarily be corrected with this procedure.All patients who have fat transfer will develop some fat necrosis. Generally it doesn’t leave palpable nodules but sometimes it can.It might be helpful to know exactly what procedure you want your provider to do.Personally I am reluctant to take on secondary body contouring procedures. The second surgeon generally inherits all the problems from the first surgery.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
