Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Thank you for submitting your question and photo. I am sorry your disappointed with your result. Your very early in the healing phase.  You have a noticeable result in your before and after photo.   In general,  it may take up to six months for the swelling to subside and the true result seen.  If needed, a revision can be performed after 6 months. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. I hope this helps. Best wishes

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

Thank you for your pictures. If you just take a honest look at your pictures you can see that you are contouring nicely. This will improve over the next 8 to 12 week.

	Good luck

About 25% of my patients have had Brazilian buttlifts, many with situations similar to yours. You can get a dramatic improvement with a revision.  I perform about 500 Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure.  Much of the grafting result depends upon the techniques utilized and the postoperative care.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

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 are not happy with the results then, l recommend you to make an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a proper answer and to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
