5 days post op Lipo and Brazilian butt lift. Butt looks uneven.

It is almost impossible to determine the results after 5 days. It is common to have some swelling and that can lead to unevenness. Typically these things go away after time. If you're concerned about the amount or location of the fat that was transferred, clearly those are questions that only your treating surgeon can help you with. Give them a call!

Clinical Context

Some asymmetry is common in the first days after a BBL. Swelling, bruising, and fluid don't always resolve evenly on both sides, and compression garments can shift and put more pressure on one area. Fat grafting results also take time to become clear, since some of the transferred fat naturally settles or is reabsorbed over the following weeks. This early unevenness usually improves as swelling goes down, but any concerns about the amount or placement of fat should be discussed with your surgeon.
