I am 6 wks post BBL, my hips measured 40 in. pre op, and immediately post op I was 46 in.. Now for 3 wks I have remained 43 in. Is this my final result?

Thank you for your questions. It usually takes several months for the final results to be realized after buttock augmentation. In addition, as some of the fat resorbs, changes can happen. Make sure you are patient and follow closely with your plastic surgeon. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question.It usually takes three months to get close to your final results. You may loose a little bit of 43 inches but you will loose swelling above and below these areas. In all likelihood you will have even nicer curves than you see today. All The Best !

I assume that when you had your BBL , fat was transferred not only to the buttocks but also to the hips creating a more heart shaped butt and a curvier result to accent the smaller waistline. I believe what you are asking is since some of the size has already decreased, at what point will the final result be measurable? I tell my patients that at 3 months probably 80-90% of what is there will remain but they really have to wait 6 months to see the final result. Of course weight gain or loss after surgery can affect even after 6 months, as these are living fat cells that can change according to diet and exercise.
