Will my butt go down after a BBL?

Question

I'm a little scared that the size I got was a little to big was wondering if it will go down ? Or is there anything I can do to make it go down.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Yes t decreases 30 - 50 % during the first three months after surgery. Continue to follow up with your surgeon as recommended. Regards,

Thank you for your question.  After a brazilian butt lift surgery, there is a predictable swelling process that mostly resolves over two months, when the final result really settles in.

Ross Blagg, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for your question.

The size generally decreases several weeks after a BBL because some of the fat gets resorbed. This is why we often "over-fill" with the fat at the beginning because we expect some of the fat to resorb. Be sure to express these concerns to your surgeon so that he/she can guide you.

Best wishes,

Dr. Blagg

Thank you for your question!

It depends on how far out you are from surgery. Usually, there is a lot of swelling for at least the 3 month period and possibly on into the 6 month period. At the 3 month period is when you should start seeing your full results. If at this point you are unhappy with your results I would contact your physician to see what he/she would recommend for you.

I wish you the best of luck!

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well...if you use your boopy pillow for at least 8 weeks from the procedure, your buttocks will mantain for more time your fat cells.

Thank you for your question.I would consult with your surgeon for a physical examination if there are areas of your buttocks that you are concerned about. Generally, most of the swelling has resolved by 6-8 weeks and you should start to see your finally results by then. If after 3 months, you are unhappy with the size of your buttocks you may want to consider adding cardio and eating a healthy balanced diet as this will reduce overall body fat and the buttocks will get smaller too. Best of luck in your recovery.Sincerely,
