Thank you for your question, at less than two weeks after your procedure its too soon to know how everything is doing, I would advice you to be patient, it will take at least three months for you to see your actual results. Visit your plastic surgeon for all your followup appointments to avoid any complications, however hardness of the buttocks is normal due to swelling.

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, discomfort and irregularities are normal.
I recommend you to, please, follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Trust your surgeon, you have to wait to see your final results, is too soon and the swelling is still in its peak.Go back to Texas and keep contact with your surgeon by mail or phone.

Unfortunately without seeing you in person it is difficult to say.  Some firmness is normal initially often due to swelling. Best to follow closely with your surgeon or find a surgeon at home that will see you.
