My butt looks very small without the garmet.I have lumps in both cheeks.I was told by the surgeons assistant that the hard part is fat that will dissolve and further enlarge my butt.Is this true? Can I massage it? Can I tell if its fat necrosis with an MRI at this stage? seen my surgeon once post op.hes too busy and I have questions.

Answer: 3 Weeks Post BBL, Unhappy With Results. Should I Wait? Thanks for your question. You're still in the early stage of healing and should give it some time to see the final results. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The lateer phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient.

Answer: Realistic Expectations Great question. It is going to be hard to give you a thorough answer without pictures. Although, you are not going to see the best results after 3 weeks. It can take a few months to start seeing the overall contour of the body. Swelling and bruising is expected. Give it more time for swelling to go down before being too concerned. Make sure you are following all post care instructions. Also, wearing your garment is very important. Best of luck!Dhaval M.

Answer: 3 Weeks Post BBL, Unhappy With Results. Should I Wait Thank you for submitting your question and photo. I am sorry your disappointed with your result. Your very early in the healing phase. A photo would be helpful. 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. Your surgeon needs to make time to address any patient concerns. Gentle Massage does helps. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon and follow his recomendations. I hope this helps. Best wishes
