6 weeks post BBL with very uneven hips. Can I lipo the added fat in my hips out? (photos)

Thanks for your pictures and questions. I can appreciate your concerns regarding asymmetry of your results. However, keep in mind that at this time, you are only 6 weeks out from surgery. It is going to take 3-6 months for the final results to be revealed and you would be extremely ill-advised to do any intervention at this time to try to correct something that may resolve on its own. Try to be patient and follow the advice of your board-certified (ABPS) plastic surgeon.Best of luck!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery

Regards,

In general it takes over 6 months for fat grafts to take and become your own tissue. In buttock and breast an average of 50% of fat grafts placed during surgery will survive after  that period. In other words patients is going to loose about 50% of volume she had few weeks after surgery because of swelling and fat graft reduction. As a result of fat graft survival it make take (survive) better is some areas than others causing asymmetry. This is not something that can be controlled by a surgeon; it will need another surgery by means of combination of localized liposuction and fat grafting to be corrected. I would suggest waiting at leas 6 months before correction.
