Is your butt soft after getting a BBL or does it feel hard and if so how long does it stay that way?

Hello,Thank you for your question. Once you have completely healed, your buttocks should feel soft. Normal swelling in the first few months will make the tissue feel slightly firm. Talk to your plastic surgeon about the expected timeline for recovery.All the best 

Thank you for your question. After a BBL your butt feels hard for the first couple of months. There is a process of swelling and bruising that undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery.  The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. 

After a BBL the buttock is initially hard due to the amount of fat put into the buttocks and the amount of swelling after the procedure. Once fully healed (several weeks), the buttock should be soft in most cases. As always, ensure you consult with an ASPS surgeon experienced in BBL's. I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for your question.It all depends on how much fat was grafted or placed in the buttocks. If a significant amount of fat was placed, it's going to feel firm initially and it can take 3 to 4 weeks to soften. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Take care,

Often the buttock can feel quite firm from swelling initially. As you heal the swelling will subside and the buttock should feel more normal.

Hi. After a BBL  your butt will feel hard the first 3 to 4 month after the surgery until edema subsides, and then it will feel soft as when it was in  the donnor site, keeping its projection and definition.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
It is normal to feel very sore during the first days, especially in the back, although all the liposuction areas will be very inflamed and with bruises. It is very common that the first day some liquid comes out of the incisions of liposuction, this liquid may be dyed red if it associates some bruising, as after any liposuction. the buttocks remain soft and firm for about 3-4 weeks.
I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you...
