The swelling you are experiencing in your legs and feet are more than likely secondary to where the fat came from as opposed to the BBL.The farther down the leg the fat is harvested from, the greater likelihood of swelling and bruising all the way down to the feet. The asymmetric nature of your swelling is common, and in fact, symmetrical swelling would be very uncommon. Wearing compression socks and garments can be useful. Unfortunately, pressure on the lymphatics (system that brings fluid back from the lower extremities to the heart) from the BBL, etc. causes fluid to be driven back into the tissue leading to the swelling you are experiencing. If you were my patient, I would recommend 20 minutes out of every hour, you lie down flat with your feet on several pillows above the level of your heart. This will allow gravity drainage out of the lower extremities leading to less swelling. At this point, it would be appropriate for you to get in touch with your Board Certified plastic surgeon to see what he or she recommends for your lower extremity swelling.

While some swelling can be expected, asymmetrical swelling is a little bit more concerning for a blood clot in your leg, especially if it is accompanied by tenderness/pain in your leg as well as any low grade fevers. If you have either of these symptoms you should probably be seen by your physician immediately. Swelling can also happen if you have had liposuction from your legs as part of the procedure. Regardless, if the asymmetric swelling persists I would recommend bringing this up to your surgeon sooner rather than later.
Swelling after a BBL is common. It will often end up in the legs and swelling in this regions is fairly common. If concerned, speak to your surgeon.

Was it 500cc in total or 500cc per buttock? I can see the dents on your butt that bother you and I would like to warn you that you have to realize fat transfer can help but it will never give you a perfectly smooth butt. An improvement is possible, that's for sure

Thanks for your questions. You can have a BBL between 4-6 months after the tummy tuck as long as you're cleared for surgery. I would recommend getting a proper evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
