6 weeks post-op. Is it normal to feel soreness and aching a month after surgery? (photos)

I recently just had surgery done on 2/1/19 and it’s been a month and 2 weeks, and I’m experiencing soreness and achy feeling in my butt, especially my lower butt area. I got an intense 360 lipo and Dominican butt lift done in D.R. So I lay on my stomach a lot or if I do decide to sit I’ll use a boppy pillow for support before I sit down, but now it’s very sore to even sit down. Is this normal? Can someone please respond! I have no redness on my butt either.

I use fat to fill in hip dents every day, and the technique is very effective.  Photos or an in-office exam would be necessary to confirm if this procedure would work for you.

Thank you for your question! Yes, lipo 360, chin lipo, and BBL can be done at the same time. Lying on your stomach post procedure should not negatively affect your chin lipo results. I recommend my patients wear the surgical garments we provide, including head wrap for compression to the chin, ...
