After your BBL procedure, you can expect a few common side effects. These include:
Discomfort in all surgical areas. Wherever the doctor has performed liposuction, you may feel sore and tender. The same goes for your buttocks.
Swelling. Your post-operative swelling could cause your cosmetic results to initially look asymmetrical and out of balance. As swelling subsides, you will see more of your beautiful surgical outcome.
Fluid drainage. It is possible to notice blood-tinged fluid drainage from your liposuction incisions. This side effect is completely normal and is expected to resolve in 24 to 48 hours.
Deflation. In the weeks following your San Luis Obispo County BBL, it may seem as though your results are dwindling. This is expected. Part of the settling effect is the resolution of swelling. The other part is the natural metabolism of some of the transferred fat. Because surgeons anticipate some degree of fat loss, they normally inject slightly more fat cells during this procedure.
