Is it part if the healing process to have pain in Lipo areas 5 weeks after Brazilian Butt Lift?

Question

I had a bbl 5 weeks ago The pain is really bad now. I cannot stand up straight and it hurts to move. i was so happy when I started getting the feeling back again so I could feel half way normal. I didn't mind sone pain and uncomfortable feelings but this is so much worse than that. My back is still swollen and I hurt so much. Is this part if the healing process? I have read about the swelling but not the pain.

It is normal to experience morning tightness on the lipo areas for the first 6 months post op. This is usually painful when you move but it is due to the inside healing process . Stretching exercises and massaging those areas should ease the felling. Also warm showers . Add some ibuprofen if needed. Best wishes

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation, discomfort and irregularities are normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

The typical period of
recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift is three to four weeks during which you
should avoid sitting on your buttocks. The bruising and swelling on liposuction
areas may last up to four to six weeks. You can take painkillers to reduce the
pain. If the pain is severe, it is better to consult your surgeon.
