Does my bbl look infected? (photo)

Question

I'm 13 days post op and I'm scared I might have fat necrosis. I went for another follow up today and my surgeon said that it didn't look infected, but he prescribed me antibiotics again just to be safe. He said to use warm towels and massage my butt cheeks. I'm really worried. I don't have fever and the lumps just feel hard and a little warm.

Hello 
Thank you for your question and pictures. You are still very early in your recovery. Try to
be patient. Swelling, can take up to 6-12 months to settle, and bruising is very common during this time. As well as hardness in the buttocks region. It would be best to
follow the instructions given to you by your board certified plastic surgeon.
Best regards

Thanks for the question.  hard to say whats going on in this picture but at first glance you look swollen and bruised.  Infection after BBL is not common.  Fat necrosis can happen but not usually at 13 days.  If it is getting red, hot and not improving then I might be little concerned.  Otherwise, keep following your surgeons instructions and give it some more time.  Good Luck"The above answer has been given without seeing this
