Hello and thank you for your question,Please keep in mind you are very early post-op, swelling could take up to three months for it to subside. If you are concerned, please speak with your surgeon.Regards,

Dear yashna0991,you are still in early stage of recovery when swelling can be expected. You should wait until the swelling resolves to see the final results. Also, in case of BBL there is always a 30-40% loss of transferred fat.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hello and thank you for your question. It is too soon to know how your final results will be, I recommend my patients to use a compression garment for three months and doing massages. After the swelling process is over you'll be able to really see what your body will look like after surgery, if you're still not happy, discuss with your surgeon about your options.
