Flatter stomach: I’ve struggled with my bloated, extra baby weight for 8 years now.

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Dear jenniferjen40,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a liposuction. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello jenniferjen40,
It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Four days is too short of a time to evaluate your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) final outcome. Swelling is a common, temporary side effect after BBL surgery. I would recommend you waiting at least 8 weeks for the swelling to recede and evaluate the results. If you are still dissatisfied with the outcome, consult with your aesthetic plastic surgeon about your concerns and improvements’ options. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

Swelling will be present for at least 6 months continue to wear your compression garment for 4-6 weeks and continue to follow up with your PS.

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 still normal.
I suggest my patients to try the lymphatic massages and to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Hi dear.. Thank you for your question and the provided picture!It is really early to judge for a final result, usually these type of procedures last up to 6 months to completely heal. The swelling will keep going down eventually but it takes time and may not be consistent until it is completely healed. Hope this helps and good luck.Dr. Jiménez Toribio Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.

Hello, thanks for the question and photos. Your results so far looks very good, is still too son to be worried about bumps and asymmetry because of the swelling. Final results can be seeing at 6 weeks or 3 months depending on every patient.You have to put the garment that your doctor suggest and do the post surgery massages. That combined is going to help you on your recovery and on your results. Good Luck
