Effect of Weight Loss on Brazilian Butt Lift Results?

I want a full and round butt. I'm in the process of getting a Brazilian Butt Lift. I'm about 5'8" 190 lbs, and want to maintain my weight so the surgeon has enough fat for the look I want (knowing that the fat will be filtered and not all will be used, in addition, applying 30% more than desired effect considering 30% re-uptake of fat post surgery).

My target weight post-surgery is around the 160 lb area. I want to know what effect will jogging and aerobics have on my results? Will weight loss be consistent and uniform throughout both glutes? Will I lose the all of the fat transplanted? Will the exercise not affect the area at all and I slim down and have a huge butt? Will the weight loss leave my body proportionate or should I work out now?

Weight loss after a Brazilian Butt Lift

Thank you for the question. As you are aware, in a Brazilian Butt lift and the surgeon will remove fat from your body clean and processed this fact and then grafted into your gluteal region. As you have pointed out 20 to 30% of his fat may be reabsorbed. For this reason it is essential to always graft more fat than you would like to remain. After your surgery, if you have significant weight loss you may lose some fat in the area that has been grafted. After the surgery, I recommend all... more

Brazilian Butt Lift results and Weight Loss

A Brazilian Butt Lift refers to careful analysis and sculpting of the shape surrounding the buttocks combined with fat transfer to the buttock itself to enhance its volume and shape.  I would expect fat transferred to the buttocks (I place this fat throughout the gluteus muscles and within the fat layer below the buttock skin) to respond to weight changes the same as it did before being transferred. In other words, yes, this transferred fat is living fat tissue in its new... more
