A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure in which liposuction is performed around the waistline and abdomen in order to harvest viable fat that can then be transferred into the buttocks in order to volumize the projection of the hips and buttocks. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and requires incisions for liposuction and the buttock fat transfer. These BBL surgical scars are sometimes placed in conspicuous areas that undermine the overall cosmetic results of the BBL surgery.
If you have had a BBL and are unhappy with your surgical scars, there are solutions to help reduce the visibility of your scar. These treatments are known as scar removal and are performed in a clinic setting at Kare Plastic Surgery. We offer the latest innovations in scar management for liposuction scars, BBL scars, and plastic surgery scars. Our office is world-renowned for expertise in scar management and revision plastic surgery.
Surgical scar revision for BBL incisions are often required using a combination of surgical scar removal and laser scar treatment. Both of these therapies are effective in reducing the visibility of liposuction and BBL scars in patients ,regardless of skin tone or color.
The most frequent recommendation for scar treatment includes laser scar removal treatments to reduce the redness, discoloration, and contour of liposuction scars. In our Los Angeles plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology center, our surgeons will begin the treatment by examining your surgical scars and determining whether lasers are required to reduce scar visibility and color. A small percentage of patients will require fibrous scar release and surgical excision for hypertrophic and keloid scars. The scars are often placed in the buttocks, hips, mid back, and abdomen and can be visible for many months after surgery. In some cases, scars are formed from recurrent seromas or drainage sites from liposuction.
