Will my Butt Get Smaller? 8 Days Post BBL?

User Avatar
Beaute33May 15, 2013
I got a BBL 8 days ago and my butt looks huge! My outer thighs were lipoed and look very big too so my butt seems even larger! I never wanted a big butt, just a better shape. I got about 450cc in each cheek. I'm very concerned that it will stay the same size. I know it's swollen and too soon to judge, but is it sure that my butt will go down? When? Is everybody experiencing fat reabsorbtion? I sit on my butt since day 7 (my doc said it's ok as long as it's for less than an hour). Thank you.

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

You are a good candidate for the BBL procedure. However, a physical exam is really needed to make any recommendations. The amount of volume that can be added to your buttock will be limited by the amount of excess fat you have in your donor sites. The posterior flanks are a great reservoir of...
