Hello, On May '17 I had lipo & BBL. 3 days later the fat from my right cheek migrated to the back of my thigh, leaving a lump in my leg and my right cheek visibly smaller. I voiced my concern to the PS who performed the BBL and he told me we would have to redo the BBL. So in July '17 I had a second BBL. Same thing happened, not even a week later the fat started to migrate. My primary doctor has ordered an ultrasound. Will this be enough to check if its silicone? I will see a PS in Cali.
