After Brazilian butt lift, one butt cheek is rock hard. Does this mean the fat is dead? (Photo)

I have just gotten a Brazilian butt lift 2 days ago and one side is much bigger than the other. My right side is as hard as rock. Almost feels like cement, as for the left side it feels much much softer. I don't know if this is normal. Does this mean that the fat is dead? Should I ice it? Please help!!!!

Recovery from BBL is patient dependent. Much of this depends upon the amount of liposuction performed and the amount of fat transferred. I have observed that between 4 and 6 weeks the buttocks tend to stabilize in volume.  Usually by 3 months, the swelling is minimal and totally resolved by 6 ...
