I had lipo/bbl and flew over 10 hours to go to a surgeon to get dramatic results. I was told I was too skinny and wouldn’t see dramatic results, but I expected a tiny waist at least! The pics are 5 days post op, so I know my butt will shrink more as the swelling goes down. I feel like I look basically the same and the concerns I had (not a smooth silhouette shape, dent in tops of buttocks) seem to still be present. Is this a normal result that I would have gotten from any surgeon??

Answer: BBL results Dear jho2323,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

Answer: Travelled far for dramatic result and very disappointed!! Is this normal lipo/bbl results? (photo) At 5 days post op, it is too early to judge final results. The buttock results immediately following surgery will be the largest due to swelling and lack of fat resorption. The buttocks will continue to decrease in size for the first few weeks. I have observed that between 4 and 6 weeks the buttocks tend to stabilize in volume. If your waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same. Usually by 3 months, the swelling is minimal and totally resolved by 6 months. Wait until then to make a final judgment.
