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
