Soft bulging area on right buttock after BBL. I had a BBL one month ago. (Photos)

If you had an indented buttock shape in that area before, your surgeon likely tried to lift and round it out by separating the skin and filling it with fat. Now you have an area that is bulging. Discuss this with your surgeon to see how it maybe addressed. 

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Thank you for your question. As others have recommended, I would reach out to your surgeon. As you know, this could represent a collection of fluid or liquefied fat. If there is a collection of fluid, it needs to be drained. I would get in contact with them now.

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, the soft area could be a seroma or liquified fat. Discuss this with your surgeon, he/she might need to aspirate this. In any case, this is not a good result. The fat was not placed in the appropriate anatomical place. Your buttocks look very odd. You will loose volume over the next 1-2 months at which point your shape will not change. Good luck with your healing.

Dear EG2002,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. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello dear.. Thank you for your question.Based on the pictures the area doesn't look very well, I'd suggest consulting your PS who is in charge of the procedure and might tell you what really happened as well as look for a solution. Stick to what he/she says to avoid any further complication.Hope you get a good result!Dr. Jiménez ToribioPlastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.

Hi and welcome to our forum!The photos provided certainly confirm the presence of a mass, the nature of which is unknown without a physical examination. This may represent a seroma, which would require treatment. I recommend reevaluation by your surgeon as soon as feasible.Best wishes...
