4 weeks after BBL, weight up 6 lbs - still swelling?

You are still early post op and there may be residual swelling. I suggest continuing to wear your compression garment to help your body reabsorb the swelling. Please speak with your surgeon if you are concerned.Regards,

Yes, it's probably still some swelling, and the fact that you haven't been active during your early recovery period so you gained some weight.  I would continue to follow closely with your doctor and follow their recommendations.  You're still very early out from your recovery, so I wouldn't get hung up on weight.Best,Dr. Michael EpsteinMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

Most of the swelling subsides at 6 weeks in most patients, but this may require 6 months or more.Continue to wear your compression garment for two more weeks; limit your salt consumption, and drink no alcohol.  I recommend that my patient take 100 grams of protein (protein shakes work well) per day in the healing phase for the first 6 weeks after surgery.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
