Large lump on back of thigh after Brazilian Butt Lift. Any suggestions ?

Question

I had a brazilian butt lift 6 months ago.. I started working out 8 weeks after ( squats,lunges) i soon notices a large lump in the back of my thigh which I first thought was due to a muscle build but its been 3 months and the lump has not gone away.It is very noticeable in jeans, bottoms, and i cant wear shorts because of it. What should I do?

Hello and thanks for the question. This lump could be due to several things including fat necrosis, contour irregularity from liposuction, fluid collection (seroma/ hematoma). You should be examined by your surgeon who can help diagnose the problem and help fix it depending on the cause.

I am sorry that you are having concerns about your procedure
and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your
concern.
The most important issue is to
determine the reason for your lump. It is highly possible that this is a pocket
of fat necrosis. Fat that did not obtain blood supply and died. The body
recognizes it and isolates it from the body by creating a lump. However, medical examination and diagnostic
imaging (ultrasound) may be required.

If that is the case, liposuction and new
fat grafting to the area may be the solution to your problem.

Finally, make sure that your doctor is
aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.

Wishing you the best in your journey
