2nd BBL treatment gone wrong, any suggestions? (Photos)

Question

I got my 2nd BBL treatment done today, and this is what happened on the 1st pass on the right side of my cheek. The red, raised, textured spots surfaced almost immediately. She stopped, and went to get an ice pack for them. I held the ice pack on the area while she did my forehead & nose. she then stopped and did not finish the treatment. She called in someone to look at the spots, they decided to take photos. They both said it could not be a burn because it was a BBL. What could have happened?

This is an interesting question. I would like to know what medications you were given during the procedure. This could be an allergic reaction to a particular med. I don't believe the procedure itself was the cause, however, you should consult with your plastic surgeon and/or a skin specialist.

The medical abbreviation BBL is generally used for Brazilian but lift.This is a procedure or fat is harvested using liposuction then grafted into the buttocks to create more roundness and fullness in someone's buttocks.I'm not quite sure what type of treatments you had but it sounds like it may have been Botox or some type of facial laser treatment.I suggest reposting and avoiding using abbreviations.is Kinda reminds me of a book I saw when I was in medical school.It was called 1000 medical abbreviations for your convenience and your patients detriment.A little dark humor there.On a more cheerful note most things on the face heal well and rarely leave scars or long-term discolorations.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
