A firm or strange-feeling area years after a BBL can come from several things, including scar tissue around an old seroma cavity, fat necrosis, soft-tissue laxity, or nerve/sensation changes. I would not try to interpret ultrasound images online. If the ER ultrasound showed no current seroma or...

I would treat a new dull or burning ache in an old seroma area as something that deserves an in-person exam, not reassurance from photos. Years after a BBL, possible explanations include a small recurrent fluid pocket, a scar capsule, fat necrosis, nerve irritation, or soft-tissue tethering, but...

From your photos, the most predictable improvement would likely come from addressing the loose abdominal skin and waist first. A tummy tuck can remove lower abdominal skin, tighten the abdominal wall if needed, and improve the front contour in a way that liposuction or a BBL cannot. Back and...

In my opinion, some improvement in waist definition and hip/buttock fullness may be possible, but the result has to be planned around your natural frame. A BBL can add volume to the hips and buttocks when there is enough donor fat, but it cannot change the pelvic bone structure or create a very...
