Is there anything I can do? Will help if i massage my butt and hips, will I loose some fat then? What are my options? Or will I have to do lipo on those area? I'm freaking out!!! I hope there is something that I can do! I look forward to your answer! Thank you!!!!!

If you happy on the first postoperative day, you will not be happy later.  About 50% of the fat will not live.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hello. One day is not enough time for swelling to go down. You will remain swollen for about another three months and I would not be too worried about your outcome until then. On average roughly 30% of the fat injected will be reabsorbed.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question, Its still to soon for you to see your actual results, right now your body is very swollen because of the surgery, as the days pass by the swelling will go down and your final results will show. It takes around 3 months for all the swelling to go down, so I would advise not to worry yet, since your just beginning your recovery period.
