Butt is Hard After Brazilian Butt Lift

The middle portion of the buttock is often the firmest and requires the most augmentation to achieve the maximal projection. Therefore, it is quite common for it to feel hard and firm in the early stages of buttock augmentation (first 6 weeks). Thereafter, the area in between the buttocks and just above it remain the most swollen for 3-6 months, Massage using MLD technique may be helpful but have this done if permitted by your surgeon.

Thank you for your question.After a BBL it’s going to be hard because there’s a lot of swelling. However , as time goes on it will soften. Usually, It takes about six weeks before it gets softer, and after the six weeks it will continue to become softer as time goes on.

The Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective technique that can improve the contour of your bottom and create a beautiful result. It is a combination of procedures that consists of aggressive liposuction of the abdomen hips and waist and lower back, separation and processing of the fat that has been collected, and strategic grafting to the gluteal area.

Patients who undergo this procedure should understand that there is a significant recovery process that includes swelling, firm areas, bruising, and discomfort. If you had your surgery done a week ago, it is most likely that the firm is that you are feeling is appropriate swelling. Regardless, be sure you relay your concerns to your plastic surgeon as they will want to follow your course closely.


 

Short Answer: As with any surgery, there will be some short term post operative changes that should subside with time.

Long Answer: With any surgery, there is always some degree of postoperative edema (swelling) in the area worked upon. So too, with a large volume fat transfer, there will be some degree of tightness as you are expanding the area, in this case the buttocks. This firmness you are feeling should regress after about 4-6 weeks.
