Dents on buttocks are not gone even after undergoing BBL surgery and hard lumps on buttocks post BBL surgery (photos)

Thank you for your query. Some of the dents are difficult to fix and may need a second session of subcision and fat grafting. The hard lumps will need to be assessed by your surgeon to see if it is fibrosis or an area of fat necrosis. Both of these can be treated. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon who can examine you and help you. All the best!

Dear Kiara05,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos you do have a widely depressed area in both upper lateral buttocks. This is a manifestation of poorly done fat transfer and liposuction. You have large fat deposits on the hips, and a large sacral fat pad. Without contouring these areas, your buttock shape will not be optimal, You still have a long buttock, no anatomic definition between the hips and waistline. What actually draws my attention (not mentioned by you) is the large dent in the right lower buttock on the side of your tattoo. This can be corrected with biostimulators and the GoldIncision method done awake under local anesthesia only. There are a lot of scars placed in the wrong area (all visible, and sign of surgery). Since you had one or two sessions of liposuction, I would recommend using the VASER Hi Def Lipo technique to reshape your body into an hourglass figure. I would not use the same poorly scarred incisions. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

After 2 years, dents and hard lumps likely represent scar tissue, fat necrosis, or uneven fat survival. Options include revision fat grafting, subcision to release tethered scars, and steroid or enzyme injections for lumps. A massage gun may help mild fibrosis but won’t fix structural issues. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in revision BBLs is highly recommended.
