Hi, I am 8 days post-op from bbl. My bum is extremely swollen but incrementally improving. I have an appttmt with md in three days, but as it's the start of the weekend I thought I'd check here to see if the bruising in the lower half of my buttock where the fat was not injected is experiencing normal bruising.
