4 weeks post op BBL can swelling of flanks cause muffin top appearance?

June 12, 2017
Asked By:angbabe in California, CA

I'm 4 weeks post op bbl and since the early days my flanks look bigger than before the liposuction and the muffin top appearance causes a big dent in my silhouette. I've been wearing my compression garment but it hasn't really helped this area much. All the other areas look pretty good. Is it normal for my flanks to be so swollen? I did notice in the morning (after being horizontal for so long) this area looks a bit better.
