Brazilian butt lift post op.

I would recommend that you be patient. Swelling after surgery can last up to 6 weeks. Be sure to keep the area's conpressed with surgical garments for best results. If you are not happy after your 6th week, consult with your surgeon to see if further surgery is necessary in order to achieve your desired results. Best of luck.

Swelling

Liposuction will produce significant swelling.  Think of it this way: lipo produces a swiss cheese appearance in the fat that was removed. The trauma of the surgery causes fluid to fill those swiss cheese spaces and this usually takes 1-4 days to maximize. When it does you will be as large as you were prior to your surgery AND because water weighs more than fat, you will be heavier on the scale. This is normal.

Brazilian Butt lift confusion: performed for stomach or buttock

I am confused by your question. The BBL is performed to achieve buttock enlargement and not mstomach slimming. AT 10 days after surgery, the average patient is swollen in both the donor and recipient sites. IF you were immediately satisfied, it is likely you will see similar results once the edema has resolved. However, if you are not satisfied, and still desire a slimmer stomach, you may require a tummy tuck.
