BBL in Cali Colombia. Is it normal to get more bloated?

Question

I am one week post op and I am still swollen and bruised, but I keep on getting more bloated. I feel like 2 days ago I was much slimmer...also I've been doing massages everyday is it normal to get more bloated?? And another problem is one cheek is much bigger then the other...when I asked my surgeon he said that he put more in one cheek then the other because it was smaller by 50cc ???? Is that way too much?? There is 450 in one and 400 in the other...please help.

Yes, it's normal to feel bloated after one week and this will continue like this for 2-3 more weeks.  Keep the girdle on at all time and get your massages every day.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to 6 months to see your final results. At the stage you are in, swelling is normal, so I recommend to be patient.
Unfortunately, without pictures is very difficult to give you a proper answer. If you have any concerns, i suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
