Did my surgeon take out enough fat? I wanted to really toned stomach and bigger bum (photo)

Question

I'm not happy with my results I'm only one week.post op. But my body was looking better before now I have been sick off the medication they gave me and haven't been eating and my body looks horrible. I had a bbl with only 120 ccs in each cheek. And mini tumny tuck no drains. In so much pain! But i don't see the results in my butt :(

Thank you for reaching out, at one week is very early to see final results you are still very swollen at this point you have to be more patient and give it  a few months, continue to follow up with your PS to discuss your concerns.

Dear babycakesjoyhannalyla,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a BBL and TT surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 1 week  post op.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, MHA, MS

Thanks for posting. It's too early to discuss your results, and right now it is important to get through your recovery and heal well. Discuss your specific concerns with your surgeon. Successful BBL depends on having enough fat to transfer. It's very hard to tell from your pre surgery photos just how much you have. 120 cc in each buttock is a fairly minimal amount, but hopefully you were prepped for that before your procedure.

Hello
For now it is too soon to see how your final result will look like. You are still in the healing process, so I recommend to be patient, follow all directions given by your surgeon and you'll see improvement gradually.  If you're still worried don't hesitate to ask your doctor. Good luck.
