5 year old Brazilian butt lift dents

Question

Hi! I’m after some advice about my brazillian butt lift. I had my procedure 5 years ago and I’ve time I have a distinct line/dent across both butt cheeks through the middle slightly to the bottom and the bottom of my bum is sagging. Additionally my skin is now purplesh everywhere I do think above the dent is the fat as it’s the top 2 quarters that has fat put it. It wasn’t always relevant that I have these big dents across it. Any insight in how to fix or what is going?

Agustina Hilario Duran, MD · Answer

Hi! Thanks for your question. It sounds like you're experiencing skin laxity and contour irregularities, which can happen as the transferred fat settles over time or if there have been weight fluctuations. The purple skin tone may indicate circulation issues, which can sometimes develop as the skin stretches or due to scar tissue. Treatment options could include revision surgery to smooth the contour, fat grafting to fill in the dents, or skin-tightening treatments like radiofrequency. Consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon will help you explore the best approach to achieve a smoother and more balanced look.

Dear Fearless766080,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

I would get evaluated by a physician. Several things could have happened. Some of the fat could have died, causing sagging, or you might have lost weight, including the fat that was grafted. Treatment depends on the problem, but first, it has to be evaluated by an experienced plastic surgeon.

Bruce B. Kadz, MD, FACS · Answer

You may need release of contractures with special instrumentation, revision of your crease with or without additional fat transfer. We will have to examine you.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

To make an assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure, we need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
At five years, your provider should still have your medical records and access to your pictures.
Don’t wait too long to get copies of your medical records, preferably including your operative report and all before and after pictures before your provider has the right to get rid of the records
Without pictures we can’t begin to make an assessment.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
