Regenerative Stem Cells? My Butt Shrank So Much At 6 Wks. Should I Just Wait it Out?

I had a BBL 8 wks ago my PS said that the graft of 650cc would shrink at 5 wks and be pure stem cells and regenerate by the summer b/c they would grow. I was so upset at my 6 wk post op that I requested revision surgery and possibly implants becuase my butt shrunk so much. I was 178 b4 surgery and at my 6 wk mark was 163 he want me to come back for my 5 month post op at 180 and says I will be very satisfied with my results.
