BBL and bleeding from the butt crack area.

Question

I had a BBL with lipo about 6 weeks ago and I feel great the only thing that Been bothering me is some day my butt crack bleeds, I went for my 4 week follow up but didn't see a doctor I seen a RN and she said it's normal from wiping. Is it really normal to keep bleeding at 6 week ? When does it heal ?

Thank you for your question. Bleeding from incisions can by typical after surgery but I would say that at six weeks, this would be abnormal. I would call and schedule an appointment with the surgeon to be evaluated and examined.Best of luck!

It's common to have some drainage from the small incisions used for liposuction. However, this drainage typically lasts for only 2-3 days after the surgery. I think that it's unlikely that the bleeding is related to the surgery. You should contact your surgeon so that you can be examined in person and they can decide how best to address the issue. They may end up referring you to another specialist.

Thank you for your question.The bleeding / oozing can occur from the sites of injections for augmentation, but not for so long. If you are still seeing bleeding it could be from a different pathology like hemorrhoids or other similar problems. Please see your surgeon who can examine you and refer you to an appropriate specialist.  All The Best !

You could be bleeding from one of the small incision sites where the fat was transferred. 6 weeks is a bit long to be seeing this. If yo have never had it before, this is most likely related to your surgery, but there are other things that can cause this. You should have your surgeon look at it soon. In person examination is the only way diagnose this issue.
