BBL in July 2012; Will I Lose More Volume?

I had my BBL in July and I was 45 in at my three month mark now I went down to 44 inches. The fat was injected under the muscle and I'm scared I will loose more volume since I was told I should expect to stay at the measurements I was at 3 months. Since the fat was injected under the muscle should I expect to loose more volume? Also will attempting to build muscle absorb the fat since it was injected underneath?

Cannot say whether you will lose more volume after your BBL

Fat loss after a BBL is a reflection of surgical technique and fat quality. None of us can comment on these aspects of your situation. It is possible that the fat will continue to go away or it will not. It is important to chose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in BBLs. see video
