Is it too soon for BBL results? 1 week post-op. (Photos)

Question

Okay I just had surgery about 5 days ago and I was hoping for a more round perky look I told this to my surgeon and showed him wish pics but as far as I can tell it looks more wider and not the look I was aiming for witch is the rounder athletic perky look. Is it too soon or will fat still settle in or will it stay that way I'm just not happy with it up top looks more fuller and the bottom doesn't and I have dents too also compression garment I feel is not right one it's tight in the butt area

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. You do not have to worry, always something can be done. One week after BBL it's not enough to express a valid opinion of finals results, you still is the healing process, give it more time and follow your PS post op. advises.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

The results immediately following surgery will be the largest due to swelling and lack of fat resorption.  The buttock will continue to decrease in size for the first few weeks as you lose 20-50% of the fat.  At about 6 weeks the results are permanent.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Too early to judge on the final result. You are still at the healing stage. The area in your lower back will be still bruised and swollen and this will take 8-12 weeks to settle. Wear your garment and keep your follow up with your surgeon.You have to give your body at least 12 weeks to start seeing results and final results can take 3-6 months depending the way your body heals

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Certainly 1 week post op is too soon to see the results. After the swollen goes down the butt looks very different, so be patient and you'll see how everything will look better day by day.I'm agree with you about the garment, i do not think that one will help with the shape you're waiting for. Hope this could help and good luck :)
