My Bbl Results (Buttocks) Are Way to Big (3 Weeks Post) is There Anything I Can Do to Reduce It?

Question

Im 3 weeks post and I know Im still swollen and still in a early stage but even considering the swelling and losing 30% of the fat I feel as though my butt is WAY to big (50% smaller and I'd be happy). Im 5'3 and I recieved 900 cc's per cheek... Is there anything I can do to change that? Is there anything I can do to diminsh the fat? Or will I have to get revisions a whole 6 months later?

The swelling will take at least three to four months after a fat transfer to the buttocks. Don't be too worried about the size of your buttocks at this point as it's too early to determine your final outcome. Follow up with your plastic surgeon in a few months for a follow up visit to be evaluated.

I would wait for 3 months or so, because the size of the buttocks will decrease.  900 cc is not a huge amount of transfer either.

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.
 After a BBL, only about 70% of the transferred fat cells will survive, so it is normal to see a minor reduction in your buttocks. If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

The stability of the fat take in a BBL does not occur for at least 3 months after the procedure. It is to be expected that you will lose more volume in the buttocks over the next few months, perhaps as much as 50% more. So be patient and let the process evolve and judge in three more months.
