What are these scars/marks left after my Brazilian Butt Lift? (photos)

Thank you for bringing to my attention your concern about the scars on your back and abdomen after undergoing a Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL). It is important to understand that a BBL is a combination of liposuction and fat grafting to the buttocks. The liposuction component of the procedure often involves multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, and back.

It appears that your surgeon performed liposuction on these areas, which resulted in the scars you are experiencing. I apologize that your surgeon did not adequately inform you about the potential for scarring from the procedure.

To address your scarring, there are various treatment options available, including silicone gels and laser therapy. I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in scar management to discuss the best course of action for your specific situation.

Thank you for reaching out to me, and I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.

Dear megansheriff,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. Based on your photos, it looks like scars from liposuction incisions but only your surgeon knows what he did. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
