I am now 10 days post op BBL (Vaser Lipo and Fat Transfer) and i feel the same as i did before. Same rolls same shape. I had back, stomach and legs lipo'd. Im in excruciating lower back pain like sciatica or something. On my lower back (tailbone area) I've got a pocket of fluid also that I'm draining constantly. I'm back to work after 2 weeks and worried i won't be able to sit in a car let alone move around in work. My back is soooo stiff, numb and i have really hard lumps all over. Is this normal??
Answer: TOO SOON TO EVALUATE YOUR BBL FINAL RESULTS. Hello hayleymatt2005, I’m sorry for the adverse symptoms you’re experiencing. Ten days is too short of a time to evaluate your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) final outcome. Maximum results would take up to 6 months to show. The swelling and pain during the first 2 weeks are significant, and most patients will have difficulties moving around. However, your plastic surgeon will prescribe pain medication to handle any pain that might be involved and help you feel much more comfortable. You will see significant improvement in the way your body feels and looks in the following 2 weeks. Refrain from strenuous activity for the first month after surgery and contact your surgeon promptly if you notice an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area, or if you develop fever (above 100.4 F), dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Answer: BBL Results and Recovery Everyone’s results and recovery vary depending on their anatomy, medical and surgical history, the surgeons experience and technique, and approach to recovery methods to name some. It’s best to communicate your concerns with your surgeon. Your surgeon should be the best one to take care of you. If you are still unsatisfied or second guessing then you should consider a second opinion via a face to face consultation.

Answer: Back pain, fluid and lumps after BBL? Is this normal? Thank you for your question. Swelling, some lumps and bumps are common at this stage and usually resolve. This may take 2-3 months. The drainage, however, is unusual and requires medical attention. Please discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon and set up a follow up consultation with him. All The Best !

Answer: Drainage is unusual Thanks for your question -While there can be some swelling and unevenness of the areas treated, fluid drainage after two weeks isn't typical. We've done thousands of Brazilian Butt Lifts and drainage after several weeks is unusual.You could have fat necrosis or a seroma. Visiting your plastic surgeon as soon as possible should be your next move.It is possible that this will all resolve without any need for intervention but you should see you surgeon to be sure.Hope this helps.

Answer: Early period after BLL Thanks for your question. You are in early period of your healing period. You need time to heal completely. Especially after vaser liposuction fluid accumulation can seen. This operation is also your second operation and second operation is more painful than first one. After vaser lips skin excess is normal,this skin excess will contract with time because your skin quality is good.
