Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Thank you for your question.Without pre-op photos, it is very difficult to give you an opinion on your results.Also, since your surgery was so recent, it is possible that you will gain some additional fullness in your buttocks over the next month or so.  After the initial swelling right after surgery, the fat cells often will shrink for one to two months after the surgery.  Many patients note a rebound in size starting around 2-3 months after their surgery.It is important after having a BBL to avoid dieting and trying to loose weight as this will only hurt your final results also.Most importantly, if you are concerned about your results, contact your plastic surgeon and discuss your worries.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question.
I would recommend you to post pictures to give you a better review based on your specific problem.
Discuss all your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon and always follow his or her advises.
Good luck.-

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
You have to wait 6 months to see the appropriate results, do not be discouraged, it is advisable that you should not maintain the same postures when sitting and use a pillow on your buttocks, take a diet rich in healthy fat, to avoid losing fat.
I hope this answer will help you.My best wishes to you...
