One week ago I had 360 lipo and BBL also injected some fat to my hip dips to correct them. I'm worried because my hips look huge compared to my waist..doctor says it's all swelling and it will go down significantly but I'm really worried.
Answer: Will the swelling of my hips go down? Follow your PS's post-operative guidelines and be patient. Things will improve. Most of the swelling subsides at 6 weeks in most patients, but this may require 6 months or more. Continue to wear your compression garment; limit your salt consumption, and drink no alcohol. I recommend that my patient consume 100 grams of protein (protein shakes work well) per day for the first 6 weeks after surgery to promote healing.

Answer: Concern one week after BBL Hi andwelcome to our forum!Congratulationson your recent procedure...The procedure of BBL is an"insult" to the soft tissues, resulting in swelling which willinitially TOTALLY obscure the operative result. The swelling may be asymmetric. Thepurpose of a compression garment is to prevent bleeding and to controlswelling. We usually recommend its use for the first 4-6 weeks after theprocedure. 60-80%of the swelling should subside within the first 6 weeks, with the remainderslowly subsiding over 6-12 months.It is far, far too early to assess the operative result. Continuefollowup care with your plastic surgeon...Best wishes...

Answer: BBL Revision Being a week post-op, there is swelling that needs to go down and typically the final results can be seen with-in one to three months. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
