I'm 2 weeks post op from BBL and my butt looks the same as before surgery. Will it get bigger with time? (photos)

Question

Is my butt going to get bigger? Or did I waste my money? did my BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT 2 weeks ago and the results was nice then but now my butt look the same way it used to look, is it going to stay like this or get bigger within 3 months?The only thing that changed is my stomach and my waist. I'm so sad. I'm not sitting or laying on my back since the surgery and that's just not helping. WHAT TO DO?

I am sorry to say that if after 2 weeks you really think your butt looks the same as before surgery, you are likely to be disappointed.  I perform 6-8 BBLs per week and tell all my patients that the butt will look HUGE for first 3-4 weeks. This is because of all the swelling and as the swelling goes down, the butt will shrink. If at only 2 weeks, you think the size is too small, you should speak with your surgeon. Yes, the butt will change as you heal, but it does not magically get larger as some would claim. See your surgeon and see what he/she says about it. Unfortunately, a revision may be in your future.

Thank you for your question, two weeks is to soon to see any results, at this stage of your recovery process there's still to much swelling to appreciate any results, it does take around three months for all the swelling to minimize.However even then we can see the beautiful work your surgeon has done, so you can expect great results.

Your buttocks are not going to get any bigger at 2 weeks.  They may get a bit smaller.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

At two weeks after a brazilian butt lift is too soon to see the final result. You have to give it time to settle down.  Good luck.
