8 months ago I had fallen and developed a huge bump on my right buttock. Draining did not resolve it. I had surgery to remove the bump in July. It's been about 7 weeks since surgery and I have developed a bump again and the contour seems to be ruined. Will the scar/the area where I was cut/ will that resolve in time and become smooth? Or will I need another surgery to cut out the bump? Could I get liposuction on the bump and/or fat transfer or will I have to get revision surgery first?

Answer: Scar Tissue on Butt Hi volinna, After an injury or surgery scar tissue always forms. The severity of injury and the way your body heals will determine the final outcome. You do appear to have scar tissue under the area of concern. It will take several months for your body to continue to heal after your recent surgery. Nothing can be said with 100% certainty, but it is likely the damage sustained will likely remain that way. Once you have completely healed your options for improvement include scar release alone or scar release with fat transfer. Scar release alone may cause additional scarring to form and you would likely end up in the same predicament. By placing fat in the released area you are helping to bolster the skin in hopes that a more rounded shape forms. Filler would not be recommended as the results would be temporary. I recommend a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in depth assessment and surgical plan. Dr. Andre P. MarshallDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonBeverly Hills, CA 90210

Answer: Bump after BBL When you had surgery to remove the bump, what did they find? We really don’t have enough information to give you an answer on this one. Your best of following up with your provider. Creating volume by using fat grafting in very small areas tends to not work as well as grafting larger areas like the entire buttocks.
