2 weeks post-op. Can a tight garment ruin my BBL results? (photo)

Mambo2mamboNov 3, 2016
My first stage garment is getting loose. I've bought another garment which feels very snug with the foams and boards on but comfortably snug without them. The fabric also rubbing against the incisions on my lower butt. Is my garment too tight? I understand it's hard to tell from the pics. I've contacted my surgeon but no reply. By wearing tight garment is it going to compress too much on my hips area? Please help. Thank you

I would not know the price for that area, but realself may have some doctors listed in that area.  Look for a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds or thousands of these procedures and has great reviews and photos. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA.

BrownPrincess, Absolutely! Building your gluts is a great way to enhance your buttock region and I recommend to all of my BBL patients. It not only ads volume to the buttocks but lifts the buttocks in a more anatomic position.   Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MSCertified, American Board of...

I appreciate your question. For health and safety reasons, best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. ...
