Swelling After a Buttock Lift?

I had a TT + Lipo in May, and a Buttock lift about 2.5 weeks ago, i'm doing great but I have a queston about the swelling I have. I don't really have much swelling at all its just my sides look abit full, puffy and different shapes. I don't think its loose skin as it seems quite tight. Is it nommal to have this problem? The problem is towards the ends of the new scar. Thanks for you answers :-)

It sounds like you're doing pretty well considering it's only been 3 weeks. The amount of swelling you're having seems less than normal for all the surgery you had - that's good! You might want to consider a lymphatic massage for this area, but ask your PS first. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Butt Lift and Swelling

Dear Bob8282, At two and a half weeks after surgery, it is really very difficult to truly see the final shape and result. Usually the swelling in the surgical sites will just have started to decrease and each side(right versus left) can move at its own speed. The best analogy I know is that they are not identical twins. I suggest you give it some time and also discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Another suggestion is to also include some photos... more
