Way to reduce fat after BBL. Are there ways I can make the swelling on my hips to reduce? (photo)

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.
At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery, which can take up to 6 months.I hope that helps!  Best of Luck!

Three months after your surgery it's still too early to judge your final results. I would continue to be patient with the healing process and give yourself another three months to judge your final look.

Dear fay1132,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a BBL surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

For most of my patients, I tell them that at 6 weeks there is still a great deal of swelling in the abdomen, sides, and back (or wherever the liposuction was performed);  and they will only look better in 6 months. About 50% of the fat that is transferred lives and becomes a part of you.  This will hold stable as long as there is no weight fluctuation. It's still too early to judge final results.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

THanks for posting your concerns. It is a bit early to make full judgements, since you will probably have some fat reabsorb in the next few months yet. With that said, if you feel there is an area on your buttocks where too much fat is present, it's possible to reduce this with a minor liposuction procedure. Before having BBL surgery, it is always important to have a thorough discussion with your doctor about your goals and the look you are going for. BBL is a fantastic procedure that can be tailored and customized to each patient's specific goals. I would encourage you to wait a bit longer, likely to 6 months post op before making any final judgements.

Hi dear, thank you for your question.
The swelling is still going to be present until it is completely healed and the tissue is settled so it would be better if you wait at least 6 months to judge . However, I'd recommend consulting your doctor to avoid any further complication.
Hope this helps!

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.I suggest my patients to try the lymphatic massages and to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.Good luck :)
