How long are scars from BBL noticeable?

Question

Having lipo from abdomin and flanks and some upper back for a fat transfer for BBL but am trying to keep it private. It'll be done in may and I'm worried I won't be able to wear a bathing suit without noticeable scars on my back or get intimate with anyone without them asking or seeing scars on my lower stomach. I guess I was wondering how long the redness from scars tends to last. Also, if someone asks what the scarring is from, on the back, is there anything to play it off as other than lipo?

Hi and thanks for the question. The incisions from liposuction and fat injection for BBL are small and can often be hidden under a bikini while they are healing. Typically within 3-4 months most of these incisions will be not be noticeable. As far as far as reasons other than lipo for the incisions, how about mole removal from the dermatologist?... Best of Luck - Dr. Hardy...

A BBL is often performed with several small incision in the areas of harvest and for fat injection.  The scars usually heal very well in most patients but can take a year for the redness to go away.
