Hello, I have this mark underneath my buttock post lipo 360/BBL. It wasn’t on my leg prior to the procedure. Is it a cannula track mark or is it just a scar from the procedure? Can it be fixed? I know the small dot is the “scar” where I had stitches from the entry point but I mean the elongated puffy area is my concern

Answer: Buttock issue Dear Ray, Your pre-op pic has a bit of what you have post op, just less augmented. I do not feel it is a scar or cannula line, but rather an area that had multiple bands holding the skin down that still exists causing the area to be flat with the fat transferred to be puffy around it. The issue is that sometimes releasing the bands during the procedure makes the skin so loose or elastic that it ends up being an outward bump which can look worse. A small revision should make it better, but probably not round and smooth Best wishes Dr. Taranow

Answer: Liposuction Liposuction Can always be used to change the shape. You should ask your plastic surgeon about this. Best of luck! Dr. Boschert
