Hello slugo624, I appreciate your questions and pictures! Six weeks is too short of a time to assess Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) final outcomes. BBL maximum results will take up to 6 months to show. Patients can actively contribute in preventing contour irregularities by following their surgeons’ post-operative protocols to the letter. I usually recommend my patients wearing specialized compression garments around the clock, starting immediately after surgery, during six months, to reduce swelling and help their skin contract smoothly to their new body’s contours. Since ill-fitting garments can lead to contour irregularities (such as lumps and dents), I advise them about the correct method of using them, to limit folds and creases in the garments, and regularly check if they are worn properly. Additionally, plastic surgeons should advise their patients that, without lymphatic drainage massages, there is a risk that swelling and inflammation could turn into fibrosis, which is a permanent hardening of the area. At least ten lymphatic drainage massage sessions are required, starting 24 hours after the procedure, to eliminate excess lymph fluid, alleviate swelling and discomfort, and also prevent complications such as seromas (fluid collection) and contour irregularities (indentations, and/or fibrosis). In my experience, manual lymphatic massages by their own have proven successful, in the majority of cases, in achieving uniform removal of swelling and ensuring smooth contours. Kind regards! Dr. De La Cruz.
Dear slugo624,I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately.The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. The revision can often be done under local as well.While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result. But there is still a chance that this will improve with time.
