Why do I have facial swelling after BBL? (Photo)

Question

I'm 16 days post op and still having facial swelling. This pic is from later in the day. First thing in the morning, it's much worse. I look like a boxer - who LOST!

Thank you for your question, swelling is normal after the procedure some patients have swollen legs, hands, arms, and because of the position you are in to avoid sitting in your buttocks sometimes patients lay on their sides or stomach when there's fat transferred to hips as well, that may cause swelling in the face as well. Contact your Doctor to talk about the swelling and how you may avoid it.Good Luck.Salvador Pantoja M.D.
