Can you get hip revision after bbl?

Question

I am 6 days post op from bbl/lipo and I hate how wide my hips look after. I asked that no hips be added because I was happy with the hips I had, he explained to me that he would just fill in the dents on my buttocks. He did that but I did not realize it would look as huge as it is does. My legs are too skinny and looks unproportionate, especially when I turn to the side. Am I going crazy and just need to let swelling go down? If not is there a way for this to be revised in the future? Thank u!

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Thanks for your question. First, its normal to feel anxious following surgery, you may want to see results immediately  but it takes time to see final results. I will suggest to wait for a few weeks and i am sure your hips will come down.
