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.

Dear lina masad,
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.

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

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.

 I asked my patients to not look in the mirror for the first few weeks after liposuction or fat transfer procedures. Doing so on that gets people upset and worried.  Whether you'll be happy with your results or not in the end is somewhat irrelevant to how things look one week after this procedure.  At six weeks you'll have a better idea of what you're going to look like. I suggest being patient and waiting. Regardless there's nothing to do in regards to intervening earlier.  Best,Mats Hagstrom,MD

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...
