Dear Aquabluelove1,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a BBL surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

Thanks for your question. The fat cannot be freezed to use later, if it's not used right after liposuctioned then i goes to waste. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Thank you for your question and photo! Unfortunately I have to agree with the previous answers as you most likely did not go to a plastic surgeon.  I suggest you seek a board certified plastic surgeon and have a consultation to discuss some revision options!  Best of luck!Dhaval Patel

I hope by now you have recovered well. At 2 months it is very difficult to see the results at least in the lower back and the tummy and thighs areas. However, The buttocks should look ok. If you still has the same feeling, I suspect it is because of your lower back that is still not curvey enough to make the buttock appear as they should be. Best,Shady Hayek

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 is normal. 
If you are not happy with the results then, l recommend you to make an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a proper answer and to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
