Lumps in my buttocks 2 years post Brazilian Butt Lift - how to get rid of it? (photo)

Dear Cheerful248750,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.

Being that it has been two years since your BBL surgery, a revision BBL surgery performed by a BBL specialist would benefit you most. In order to address your uneven skin texture and irregularities,
skin tightening Renuvion technology can be combined with your procedure to smoothen your skin. An in person, Skype or Facetime consultation with a BBL specialist will more accurately assess if a tucking procedure of any kind is warranted.

The optimal BBL revision outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat since your fat has already been harvested 2) a closed looped system to process the fat in order to optimize transfer time and avoid your fat from becoming contaminated and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique that maximizes graft take. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. Finally, attention must be given to providing you the buttock shape that YOU desire. This means using our proprietary BBL assessment tool. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. Our buttock assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

In order for us to assess the outcome of a surgical procedure we need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures then contact your provider and ask them to forward the ones they took. They are part of your medical record and you have a legal right to copies of your medical record. If they don’t respond to phone calls then send them a certified letter and then I’ll probably send you a copy of your medical record.

Likewise if your doctor is not returning your calls I suggest simply making an appointment.

The lumps may represent cellulite, fat necrosis or uneven contour from poorly done or inappropriate Liposuction.

Some providers purposely Liposuction part of the upper thigh to give the illusion of a larger buttocks. I believe this is a mistake but my opinion it’s just my opinion.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
