Does this look like swelling/inflammation or the way my BBL was actually liposuctioned?

Dear   Lynnia09,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello Lynnia09,
I’m sorry for the adverse symptoms you’re experiencing. Two weeks is too soon to evaluate your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) final outcome. Maximum results will take up to 6 months to show. The swelling during the first two weeks after BBL is significant. However, you will see significant improvement in the way your body feels and looks in the following 6 weeks. I typically recommend my patients wearing specialized compression garments around the clock for 6 months and getting at least ten lymphatic drainage massage sessions in order to completely alleviate the swelling and discomfort. Be patient during this time and you will then begin to see the final results of your BBL procedure. I would suggest you waiting at least 8 weeks for the swelling to recede and evaluate the results. If you are still dissatisfied with the outcome after 8 weeks, consult with your aesthetic plastic surgeon about your concerns and improvements’ options. Your plastic surgeon has intimate knowledge about the procedure performed and detailed familiarity about your potential complications. Best wishes! Dr. De La Cruz.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation and discomfort are normal.

If you have any concerns, or if the situation doesn't improve, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.

Good luck :)
