Will my Butt Get Smaller? 8 Days Post BBL?

Question

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.

Thank you for your question. 450 cc's is a conservative Brazillian Butt Lift.  With time your buttocks will go down. You are at the point of maximum swelling at this time. No need to get alarmed. Best wishes.

Hello. Eight days is not enough time for swelling to go down. You will remain swollen for about another three months and I would not be too worried about your outcome until then. On average roughly 30% of the fat injected will be reabsorbed.

Thank you for your question, at 8 days post op you are still very swollen, it will take a couple of weeks for the swelling to be reduced and for you to see your actual results, however 450cc is a very conservative amount.

Having pictures really helps on giving an opinion.

	One week after any kind of liposculpture ( liposuction + fat graft ) is too soon to be able to see final results . 

	My advice is to be patient , since as days go by your body will reshape and you will probably be happy with your results.

	Best wishes
