BBL recovery - still swelling almost 2 years post-op. Advice?

Thank you for your question regarding persistent swelling and pain in your buttocks two years post-Brazilian Butt Lift. It's crucial to note that the symptoms you're experiencing are not normal for this stage of recovery. I strongly recommend revisiting your plastic surgeon. It may be necessary to have an MRI or ultrasound of your abdomen and buttocks and potentially some blood work to better understand the underlying issue. I hope you find this advice helpful, and I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

I would suggest that you see your surgeon back for a follow up, as it is not normal to not be healed after so long a time. It sounds like could may have something called fat necrosis, which can cause areas to feel hard and painful following surgery.

Sorry for your postop continuing issues following a lipo 360/BBL You did not even post photos?? Plus was the surgery done at a CLINIC setting vs private practice boarded PS? After 18 months of what you describe as fat necrosis, fat cysts, fibrosis/seromas I recommend immediate ultrasound or MRI c/ contrast of your buttock & abdomen. These tests might offer some answers to your on going postop issues. Next schedule virtual consults with only boarded plastic surgeon whom offer revision BBL operations.... My over the Real Self internet dx guess is you had clinic setting surgery with energy based lipo or J-Plasma used! These types of lipo and transfers cause these described postop issues, BTW.
