5 days post op. Worried my top shelf will not come down and settle and give me complete round fullness like my wish pics (Photo)

Question

Hi doctors . I'm attaching a photo of my bbl progress, I'm a bit concerned that I have a lot of top shelf roundness which I wanted but the bottom is not as full and round as I expected? Will this settle and come down some? I had no upper shelf at all prior to surgery and my doctor said he wanted to focus on that area and the dents on each side of the hip where I had squareness and round that out, Top is still very hard. I had 800cc's put in on each side.would I need SX again to get to wishpic?

5 days after your surgery is too early to judge your result;
however, for immediate post op period your results look good. Your body will
continue to remodel the fat and healing goes on for 9 months to a year. In order to optimize your fat survival follow your ps recommendation. Best
wishes.

Thank you for sharing your concern with us. Based on your photos, you are healing good, on other hand, five days after BBL + lipo it's not enough to express a valid opinion of finals results. Give it at least 3 months and follow up your PS post op. advises.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your pictures.  Your fat grafts are not going to settle. Your contour pretty much is what it will be self it may come down a little bit but due to swelling. I don't think you're going to meet your goals of your wish picture even with additional surgery.

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 is normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

It is way to early to determine your final results. My recommendation is not to worry and wait at least 3 months to take your final pictures.Best wishes
