At first this question sounded ridiculous to me but it has recently been gaining hype on social media & forums to the point it has become a concern to me now ack.. So some say that when you get a BBL you have a smell, it’s unclear whether this is a long term thing, a permanent thing or what… It got me to thinking if the fat that doesn’t take - and necrotizes - creates a smell that comes from the body? Or something besides just a temporary healing-wound smell that i would’ve already expected.

Answer: BBL fat necrosis Dear jasmineH, BBL surgery will not cause smell and also fat necrosis doesn't cause smell that you can feel. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: BBL smell I have read this recently and discussed this with my 2nd rounders. The only thing that I get from my patients is there is a smell associated with body contouring when a patient had either HIdradenitis Supparitiva or possibly from the bbl is the cleft (butt crack ) is over accentuated from the procedure. These are body odors that occur when there is retention of sweat or body fluids. There can be minimized by the use of hibiclens and by judicious use of body powered and deodorants. There are nothing related to fat necrosis or anything that's occurring underneath the surface of the skin.
