Should I be concerned my left butt cheek has a red spot? (Photo)

Question

I’m 6 days post op, I got a lipo & BBL. however, my left butt cheek feels a little weird, like a warm feeling and it has a red spot. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for your question...It is difficult to say for sure based on your photo alone. You should double check with your surgeon. However, it appears to be just a bruise. If there is new redness, warmth, tenderness or you have fever/chills or nightsweats, you should see your PS asap to assess for infection.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation and bruising are normal.
If you have any concerns, or if the situation doesn't improve, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question and the photo. If it feels warm it is important to have it checked by your surgeon because it might be a beginning infection. Best o luck

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your photograph, you appear to be exhibiting a bruise following the procedure. The performance of BBL requires repeated injections of fatty tissue into the buttocks, which may cause injury to small blood vessels. This is most often innocent and causes no problem. However, if the bruise continues to grow and becomes increasingly tender, you should undergo reevaluation by your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes...
