Asked By:lizziepoo in Miami, FL

I had a BBL 3 weeks ago. I was 122 lbs at 5’2 before surgery so I gained about 13 lbs. I weighed 134.5 by surgery day. They removed 4,000 ccs of fat and injected 2,000 ccs into each buttock. So that is about 8 lbs of fat removed. Shouldnt my stomach get super flat and lean? Is 3 weeks too early still? Can you tell if this is fat or just swelling? I love my new hips and butt though.
