Can I Still Have Swelling at 2 Months Post-BBL?

Question

I had a brazilian butt lift on july 28, and had my stomach,flanks, back,knee,and whole thigh. I have a soft mushly feeling and wanted to know if that was still swelling, it has been about 2 months. How long will it take for all the swelling since I had so much lipo done?

Wilberto Cortes, MD · Answer

With a Brazilian butt lift, there is a period of swelling that lasts from 3-4 months. This is secondary to fluid shift, inflammatory reaction, and the healing process among other things. Most of your swelling should be resolved in approximately three months. After three months, whatever fat is present will stay there permanently.

Carolina Restrepo, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. 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.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

Brazilian Butt Lift recovery time is dependent on how the patient’s body reacts to the procedure. Patients usually return to work after a week but you should not sit without the use of cushions for at least two weeks and you must wear a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure. You should wait until at least 2 weeks after the procedure to engage in sexual activity. Swelling and discomfort normally fades at six weeks. After about a month you will be mostly healed and you can get a nice idea of the permanent results after around six months.

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.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, but minimal swelling. Please follow up with your doctor as these issues require the attention of a plastic surgeon.
