Did I get a bad BBL or is there anything I can do to see better results? (photos)

Question

I want a second opinion on my post bbl results. I had lipo on my arms, flanks, and stomach and put into my butt July 20. I can’t tell if my surgery was a bust? I’m considering getting sculptra to further enhance my results. Is there more I can do besides squats and eating healthy to try to see better results? I weighed around 125 pre surgery post surgery 117 if you can tell how pale i am in the photos it’s because I stayed home never sat or walked after surgery and still see only a small difference?

Without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.I hope that helps!  Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question. You're still in the early stage of healing and youre probably still swollen. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery.  The lateer phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens.  It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient.

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. You should seek a second opinion, six months after surgery, if by then you are not happy with the results.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

missmarlow Hi There, Thank you for your Question Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most accurate quote.You have to understand that with out a before pictures there is no way that we can compare , you also have to remember that not all that fat survives after a BBL .
