Painful mass in hip/glute 1 year after BBL - Is this a normal side effect?

Asked By:Adriannaebm in Jayuya, Jayuya, Puerto Rico

I had a BBL done a year ago. I noticed a mass on the left glute/hip area while massaging. My post op therapist told me it was normal and it would go away but its been a year and it hasn't. In fact, it's grown a little and it has progressively become more painful. I went to a doctor and got an ultrasound, it's a 4cm mass that's applying pressure on my sciatic nerve. I'm shure I didn't have this pre op. Is this a normal side effect of a BBL? could it be a tumor?
