Swelling can provide for a hardened appearance after BBL. There will be a great deal of softening within the first two to six weeks.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided infromation as well.. yes, in some patients is harder, but it can be like that for at least the first 8 weeks.
Right after a BBL, the buttocks are larger and firmer. This is often due to swelling. With time, the buttock softens up.
Thank you for your question. The area in the lower back will be still bruised and swollen and this will take 8-12 weeks to settle. Wear a garment. have to give your body at least 12 weeks to start seeing results and final results can take 3-6 months depending the way your body heals.Best of Luck!!
Thank you for your question.Your buttocks will be firm after surgery due to swelling but will soften and become more natural feeling over time. Generally, most of the swelling has resolved by 6-8 weeks and you should start to see and feel your final results by then. Best of luck in your endeavors.Sincerely,James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science

Thank you for your question. It is recommended to do sit for long periods to avoid the butt get flat. Also I recommend to keep following your PS post op advice. Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
I would avoid pressure on the buttocks for at least 6 weeks.I would try to find a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of these procedures and who has pictures and reviews you like. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Yes, the two procedures can be performed at the same time, if the board certified plastic surgeon is an expert at both procedures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
