Question

Hello I had a BBL 2020 I had a pus like bump on my booty that healed once I took antibiotics however it left a hard like dent in my butt. Could a ROUND 2 HELP REMOVE THE SCAR? And make it look back normal?

Thank-you for your query. It is possible that you had some infection or fat necrosis resulting in some scar tissue. Micro fat grafting after some subcision should help restore your contours. Please discuss your options with you plastic surgeon who can help you make a decision. All the best!

Dear anitabaker117,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

You are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, fatty necrotic cyst or scar tissue, etc.) as most of the fat melts away. It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor nor liposuction technique but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem.  Thus, going back for additional rounds of BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss. This is especially true for areas of dense scar tissue, where fat survival is extremely poor.

Buttock implants, however, provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness. Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging.  When considering buttock implants make sure that the surgeon is going to be placing the implants within gluteus muscles , (a.k.a. “intramuscular pocket”), and that they are using anatomically correct, oval-shaped implants, such as Stanton Anatomic ®️ implants. 
Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in these buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

The 1 posted photos demonstrates one of the complications of BBL, fat necrosis with cystic formation. First must obtain ultrasound of buttock to determine if any residual cyst or fat necrotic areas left. Then Round 2: lipo areas of body to obtain clean fat and release or removal of area of buttock issue with fat grafting under ultrasound guided injections. Fee $5,000+ Best to virtual consult with...

Anita (Baker…? Really??),
You are a good candidate for a revision BBL. The scar tissue from an infection is quite dense and requires the surgeon to release most of the bands before placing more fat.  You cannot release all the bands (which everyone desires) because the area becomes an out pouching (looks like a half tennis ball lump that appears sometime after surgery…usually within a few days). 
It will look much better with just one, but might require two more treatments. 
Best wishes
Dr. Taranow
