I had a BBL 3 weeks ago and there were no instant results. I'm still not sitting hoping this will help.

Question

What can I do to help the process or am I'm just assed out and have to wait 6 months to do all over again. My Dr told me it can take 3 to 6 months to see any growth?

I appreciate your question.With a BBL you should see results immediately In fact, you are typically swollen right after and that goes down.I would follow up with your surgeon and review your photos The best way to assess and give true advice would an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Hello dear!!
Thank you for the question and provided information as well.
The healing process could be from 6 months to a year, depending on the patient. The inflammation and bruising could last months. If you have any concerns, I suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon.
Be patient, it is too soon to determine your final result.
Good luck :)

With BBL you should see an immediate change. In fact, you are often swollen and the result initially seen is actually larger than you will likely be once things settle.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

After a BBL, you should see the increase in size right away. The size you are when you leave the PS office is the biggest your buttocks will be. Over the first 3-6 months after the surgery, your buttocks will shrink in size up to a loss of 50% of the fat volume injected. You buttocks will not grow over the next 3-6 months! BUT the results of your liposuction aren't always apparent immediately post op and can take 6 weeks or longer to really take shape and show the contour (needs time for swelling to go down). Part of what makes the buttocks looks so big after a BBL is the dramatic difference in size between your buttocks and waist after aggressive lipo is done on your waist. Give it a few weeks for the lipo results to be more dramatic. Definitely wait at least 6 months before going it again.
