Booty has flattened after TT

So, I've always admired my backside. My butt has always been round and fluffy, and I was very pleased with it. However, I had a TT 2 weeks ago, and now I notice that my butt seems to be getting flatter and has lost it's roundness. There was no lipo done.  Does an extended TT cause your backside to shrink somehow? Could it be that the butt flattened out as a result of the incision lines extending slightly past my hip bone? Does the body somehow redistribute weight after TT when there is no lipo done? Remember, three was no lipo done therefore I'm sure that he did not remove any fat from that part via lipo. Will my booty eventually restore itself over time :-?  Thank you.

Interesting. I have never heard of that before. I know it flattens after a lower body lift, which is understandable since the incision is 360. That is why I had the auto-augmentation. Have you asked your surgeon??

Probably swelling making it look flat. I had LBL, and my back looked like an ironing board for months. When the swelling was gone and gravity did its job, my butt came back.

That's my best asset I would be freaked out. I think as you get back to normal and the swelling passes you will be golden. I am sure you look gorgeous!

Girl, I'm already freaked. I contacted the surgeon with questions, and he advised that he did "in fact" do some lipo to my "lower back"!!!!!!

Ummph…does "lower back" also include "upper booty"? Sigh

Nothing that I can do about the Shhhhh now. :-/ I'm kinda perturbed though. 

Cause I had a ghetto booty, and I was loving it!
