I had a bbl in Miami, worst experience of my life. Surgeon didn’t explain anything to me and was extremely rude! I have these bad bad scars on me I was only suppose to have a bbl, what are these scars? I also never had drains
Answer: BBL SCARS Those marks are scars that are left after having had liposuction performed. These represent the areas where your skin was incised to allow access for the liposuction cannula to remove the fat. In your case, and most often due to genetics, you make darker scar tissue known as hyperpigmentation.On my BBL patients I like to try and camouflage the scar by placing them inside the belly button or below the belt line so as not to be easily seen in bathing suit, etc., but this is just my preference. You can talk to your plastic surgeon or dermatologist about bleaching creams and other forms of treatment for unfavorable scarring. Best of luck.

Answer: Liposuction Ports These are likely access ports for the liposuction that was performed in order to harvest the fat for the BBL. Scars like this can continue to improve for up to one year following surgery.

Answer: What are these scars/marks left after my Brazilian Butt Lift? Hello @megansheriff, thank you for your question. Based on your description and photos it seems that these marks could be related to liposuction incisions. The surgical technique used during the procedure, however, is only known by your surgeon. It's essential that you talk to him. There are many things nowadays to be able to manage a scar process. The scar can be reduced or minimized with nonsurgical technologies such as lasers, fixers, and other products. You may also want to consider a revision. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Answer: Scars After BBL or Brazilian Butt Lift 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.

Answer: Scars 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.
