How do I get rid of the fat lump in lower back after brazilian butt lift?

mzsweetoneMar 3, 2014
I had BBL almost 1 year ago. I know that massages help right after the surgery to remove any lumps, but what about 1 year later? There is a small lump that I believe is a ball of fat that is right in the middle of my lower back. I noticed it a few months ago but it didn't hurt until now. It hurts because it is right over my spine and when I sit down it's painful. How do I work on removing it?

It is wise when considering any type of body contouring procedure to weight until all of your family planning is complete.  The weight changes with pregnancy will affect your results.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

Typically this procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure. If a patient travels from out of town, our requirements is that the patient stay in the area for at lease 72 hours post-surgery. Every doctor is different in what they recommend.
