Weight loss after BBL must be done carefully as this weight loss can alter the size of the buttocks as well.

Congratulations on your recent surgery and thank you for sharing your question about your post operative recovery and results after your surgery.  Final results can take 6-12 months for all the swelling to subside.  At our office we actually see all of our surgery patients the very next day after surgery and then again at two weeks and beyond. We enjoy staying closely connected to our patients and enjoy giving the extra attention and service. Your concerns are important to discuss directly with your board certified plastic surgeon.  He or she will appreciate the open communication and will want to help you. I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best.  Sincerely, Brian S. Coan, MD, FACS

If you lose weight after a BBL then your buttocks will decrease in size. The buttocks shrinks after a BBL for up to 6 months but more rapidly early after surgery in the first 6 weeks or so. If you gained weight for the procedure and now want to lose that excess weight, just know all the fat that was created from the weight gain and injected into your buttocks will shrink. This is why I do not recommend weight gain unless you can maintain that weight long term.

Greetings, it's a pleasure for me to answer your question.
Normal recovery time of liposuction
In less than a week after liposuction, most patients can move normally and even return to work with a minimum degree of discomfort. After a few weeks, most patients feel comfortable enough to remove their girdle and start a new life with a more refined and attractive figure. The recovery time of liposuction varies among different patients, but most return to normal after two weeks, and the results of liposuction are optimal after several months.
You can exercise lightly the first weeks you must use the strip for a minimum of 3 months, and the first week of the surgery to do the lymphatic drainage massages, for 10 days.
I hope this answer will help you, good luck.
