I had a BBL 11 days ago and don’t see much of a difference. My butt still look boxed and not round!
Answer: Will the shape change or it “fluff” as the days go by? (Photo) Admittedly, fluffing may or may not mean anything. The buttock tends to drop and round out a bit with time as swelling and hardness decrease. Early in recovery, the swelling can really distort how you are going to look. I have observed that between 4 and 6 weeks the buttocks tend to stabilize in volume. Usually by 3 months, the swelling is minimal and totally resolved by 6 months. Follow your PS's post-operative instructions to achieve optimum results. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA

Answer: BBL Recovery Thanks for sharing your photo! It is important to not over analyze your body this early on in the recovery phase. I always tell patients that they won't see "final" results until the 4-6 month mark. Once you reach that point, and if you are still unhappy, go speak to your surgeon about your concerns and to discuss your options.

Answer: Will the shape change or it “fluff” as the days go by? Thank you for the question and photos. Congratulations on under going BBL procedure. It is normal to wait for 3–6 months prior to seeing your final results. I would recommend to follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Will the shape change or it “fluff” as the days go by? Thank you for the question photographs. It’s not unusual to be unhappy with your early results since there is still swelling from the surgery. The areas where you had fat removed from and where you had the fat injected will change becoming softer and less swollen. It’s very common to be discouraged and depressed about results a week out from surgery. Your early postoperative picture is very encouraging. Hang in there things will get better both emotionally and the result.

Answer: TOO SOON TO EVALUATE YOUR BBL FINAL RESULTS. Hello Plucky6033, I appreciate your questions! Eleven days is too short of a time to evaluate your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) final outcome. Maximum results will take up to six months to show. The swelling and pain during the first 2 weeks are significant, and most patients will have difficulties moving around. You will see significant improvement in the way your body feels and looks in the following 2 weeks. I would suggest waiting at least 2 more weeks for the swelling to recede and evaluate the results. If you are still dissatisfied with the outcome, consult with your aesthetic plastic surgeon about your concerns and improvements’ options. He/she has intimate knowledge about the procedure performed and detailed familiarity about your potential complications. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.
