Is there anything I can do to reverse this? I only wanted hip or a better shape. I get anxiety attacks and I am on the merge of a nerves breakdown thinking I will stay this way . Please help

There may be a small amount of swelling for up to 6 weeks, but given your state of unhappiness you might want to go ahead and contact the surgeon who performed the surgery to discuss your concerns and get specific advice.Best wishes!

Thank you for your question and pictures. It has only been 3 weeks and the swelling is not gone yet.  This should not be your final size as both the swelling will go down and approximately 30% of the fat will resorb.  Finally, as a last case, liposuction can be done later or with weight loss, the fat will decrease some.

Luis Macias, MD, FACS · Answer

At three weeks you are at maximal swelling... Thus, it is entirely too early to know what your final result will be.  The swelling will start to go down from now on and will take 3-6 months to go away.  At 6 months you will know what your final result will be and then you can discuss your options with your plastic surgeon. In addition, at that point you may seek a consultation with another board-certified plastic surgeon for a second opinion. Best wishes.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.At this point 3 weeks post op we can't talk about final results and the swelling is normal.To reduce it, I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage and wear a postoperative girdle.If after six months post-op, I recommend you send us your photos again, to give you more information about how we can solve this problem.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for the photo and question. You are still in early stages of healing so there is some swelling at this point and it might take a few months to achieve final results. Follow your post op instructions and express your concerns to your surgeon.

It's too early to even consider doing anything. In six months you will know. If your surgeon was a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian butt lifts, call him and see him first. If not find one and after waiting a few months, show him or her your result. Much can be done, but it's way to soon to be happy or so unhappy. Good luck.

Daniel P. Markmann, MD · Answer

Yes!   The first thing to do is to be patient!   You are still swollen.   It takes an average of about 3 months for your swelling to be mostly gone.   Your buttocks WILL shrink.  Be patient and give it at least 3 months, not 3 weeks.  DiscoverTheBeauty.com

Hold on!  At three weeks you are likely pretty swollen and need time for the swelling to go down.  Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question.  I am sorry that you are getting anxiety over how big your buttocks appears to you at the current time.  It is very important before surgery to express your wishes for your shape and amount of augmentation with your surgeon; having said that, it is also important to relay your concerns to your surgeon and let them know how you feel.  In the meantime, do not stress out too much.  Not all of that fat that is transferred during a BBL stays as up to 40% of it can resorb depending on the technique used. I would give it at least 3 months, and if you are still unhappy, fat can almost always be removed from where it is in excess and not wanted. Make sure to seek the help of a board certified plastic surgeon and remind your friends to go to someone who customizes the fat transfer to their wishes and doesn't use a cookie cutter approach and give everyone the same shape. I hope this helps.Sincerely,Dr. Sean Kelishadi
