At 4.5 weeks post-op from a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), if you have noticed a flat spot on your lower right butt cheek, it is possible that the transferred fat in that area may have not fully survived. It is advisable to consult with your surgeon to evaluate the situation and determine if additional fat injection or other measures are necessary to address the flat spot.
Welcome to our forum! Post-liposuction and fat transfer, the inflammation from the healing process leads to significant swelling in the operated areas, masking the final outcome. There might be lumpiness and unevenness. Around 60-80% of the swelling should subside by the end of the 6th week, with the remainder dissipating over 6-12 months. At this stage, it's not possible to distinguish between swelling and actual contour irregularity. It's too early to evaluate the result. If the indentation remains at 6 months, a simple revision can rectify the issue. Note that 15% of cosmetic surgery procedures necessitate a secondary touchup. Please continue follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
Dear, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine the exact issue. I recommend visiting your plastic surgeon for a thorough examination to receive appropriate recommendations and advice.

It is normal to have some irregularities early in the recovery process after fat grafting. Give your body time to settle and heal, and if contour deformities persist after 6 months, repeat fat grafting may be considered.
Indentation in the lower buttocks may be caused by pressure from certain garments or sitting positions. It is important to avoid putting pressure on that area. If the indentation persists after 3 months, revision with additional fat may be considered. Consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon to address your concerns.
