Most likely, that sound is the implant moving against residual air in the pocket. That air resorbs naturally over time and will not be an issue in a couple of weeks. Hope this helps,
Your post brings up a couple of interesting questions from the surgeon's perspective. First, what is the best weight to body surgery? My answer is usually the weight that's easily sustainable for you. You don't want to lose a bunch of weight, have surgery, and then gain it all back! It will lay out in secondary areas, and you will not like the look. Next, how does weight loss affect the engraftment of fat into the buttocks? Bottom line is that it hasn't been studied. My concern is that weight loss sets up a hormonal environment that does not favor fat grafting anywhere, including the buttocks. Finally, realistic expectations. The pictures you show are outside the realm of what's possible for you and would serve (to me) only as directional guidance. As long as you realize that, you may be pleased with the results of your surgery. I hope this helps. Please find a really experienced body surgeon near you. Make sure you see lots of before and afters!
Kind of an impossible question to answer, right? Over the next 3-6 wks, you'll know what you've got in terms of size and shape, although I usually wait 3 months for a "final result. " If the size and/or shape isn't what you'd hoped for, it should be pretty close. If you're really unhappy, talk to your surgeon - there are always things he can do. Hope this helps!
