4 weeks post BBL. Will I lose more volume?

Shawntel MarieJan 16, 2016
I am 4 weeks post a bbl. I have lost a lot of volume already and am really disappointed in my results. I am worried because my butt is already small and It's only been 4 weeks. Am I at risk for losing MORE volume? Post op my stomach was flat but now(4weeks later) it's puffy and hard. Why? What Can/should I do to prevent any more fat cells from dying?

I always tell my patients that the first thirty days after their procedure are extremely important for the ultimate results. I highly recommend to all patients not to put any pressure on their buttocks for the first 30 days post surgery.
