Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon. They are most familiar with your medical history, details of your surgery, and how you are healing. They may want to see you in person for an examination. Swelling is common after liposuction and BBL surgery. Congratulations on your recent surgery.

Swelling after a BBL is to be expected. The swelling is often times gravity dependent and will cause the genital area to swell. You should contact your surgeon with any questions or concerns you may have.

Christian Subbio, MD · Answer

Swelling after BBL certainly is to be expected.  However, you should absolutely be able to get in contact with your surgeon if you have concerns or problems.  Only he or she can evaluate you to check for things like hematoma, seroma, and to give you advice on the surgery they performed.Best of luck!

Hi and thanks for the question. It is normal to have swelling after BBL. The mons pubis (area above the vigina) tends to be more swollen than other areas after liposuction of the abdomen. You may be having a little too much activity so soon out from surgery. Check with your ps regarding this and have and examination. Best of Luck - Dr. Hardy...

Swelling is normal after a BBL.  This will take a while for the swelling to settle.  The groin can be quite swollen.
