I had lipo, tummy tuck, and bbl 7 weeks ago and most of the pain has subsided. Some soreness and my butt keeps shrinking?

The larger part of volume loss after BBL surgery is actually due to loss to fluid contained even in the most purified graft rather than actual loss of fat. To understand this actually helps patients to be calm and relaxed during their recovery process.Volume loss usually comes to an end anywhere between 4-6 weeks after the procedure. It also depends a bit on personal factors rather than solely on surgical oness.So all you are saying sounds pretty much ok.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.At this point (2 months post-po) the swelling is still normal.To reduce it, I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen and wear a postoperative girdle from thigh to the breasts.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

You are 7 weeks from surgery.  The " butt" pillow you mention is not helpful at this point. Your surgical sites have healed.  Your post operative edema has resolved by this point and the transplanted fat is undergoing resorption which is why we over augment with fat in our gluteal augmentation.  The shrinking is the normal process of fat resorption.  I tell my patients that 50% of the transplanted fat will go away. Average augmentation volume per cheek is 600-1200grams. 

  When you mention that your cheeks are tender I must ask if the skin has any changes that might be seen with an infection. Redness that is spreading away from injection sites could be a sign of infection. Consult your plastic surgeon if you are feeling ill and have these signs of infection.
