9 years post op, Faja deformed my bbl during recovery - could this be fixed? (Photo)

Question

So, it looks like chicken butt on one side bc the faja provided by my surgeon was a flap over for the bathroom flap on the faja so one side of my butt check would slip out the flap. I’ve tried everything except get another bbl. I research chicken butt and I’ve seen that it’s more than likely not fixable. But I’m wondering if it was a deformity by surgery if it could be fixed? I’m just so self conscious about it and it’s so embarrassing I feel like everyone’s staring helpppp

Compression garments cannot permanently change of fat distribution.This is true for both Liposuction and fat transfer results.Your outcome is a direct reflection of how the procedure was done.The indentation represents the surgeons overzealous technique during the procedure.There’s no proof the compression garments do anything. The main reason plastic surgeons used them is because everybody else does.There are lots of plastic surgeons who never use compression garments, and their results are exactly the same as those who do.Liposuction should be considered a permanent and irreversible procedure.It may be possible to even out the contour by removing more fat adjacent to the area over treated.Equality assessment will for sure require an in person evaluation.I suggest you follow up with the surgeon who did your procedure or schedule a few in person second opinion consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
