How would I know if I have cellulitis ? Can a fat transfer to hips migrate to my thighs ? I also have a lump on my butt (Photo)

Question

I had my procedure done 6 months in January. I feel like I notice so much problems. One of my thighs seems to have so much cellulite and a lump like the fat is migrating down my thighs . I have a lump on my butt as well

Thank you for your pictures and questions. By 6 months, the edema should be resolved and you should be seeing the final result. It is hard to tell without an in-person exam, but any areas of lumpiness would be most consistent with contour deformity and/or fat necrosis. It would be best to return to your surgeon for evaluation and discussion of treatment options.
Best of luck!

Dear dmcneil,
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 or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

At six months, your results are final.To make an assessment regarding your outcome we always need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.the bump is probably fat and necrosis.Cellulitis is a very different medical condition than cellulite.The words may seem to be the same but cellulitis is an infection that can potentially be serious and even life-threatening while cellulite is a skin texture condition that is very common and completely benign.
