So I got my BBL & LIPO done 1/25/18 I’m exactly 8 days post op! Since the day I came out of surgery my butt has looked like this and my surgeon keeps telling me it will “drop”. Is this true? Can the fat that’s placed on top drop to my buttcheeks? Or will I need a round 2 of this procedure? Is a nice full, round, butt even achievable with my body type?

Dear, after a fat graft, we notice two volume: the swelling and the fat. The swelling fades away quicker and you will note the progressive diminishing after 6 weeks. Concerning the fat, 1/3 of the total volume don'ts survive after 1 year. Beyond that, it will follow your body weight fluctuations...
Thank you for your question! You are still very early with swelling still in place! I suggest waiting 3-6 weeks to see your final result. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval Patel
