I Heard That Fat Shows Up in Weird Places After Lipo. Will This Also Happen After the BBL Surgery?

Does this also happen after the Brazilian Butt lift procedure? Or is this not a problem because the removed fat cells are manually transferred to the buttocks?

Urban myths for the Brazilian butt lift

Fat does not "Just show up" in other areas after lipo

Liposuction removes some of the fat cells in problem areas. Your body does not make more fat cells. However, after liposuction, you must maintain a healthy balance of diet and exercise or your body can and will add fat to existing fat cells. If you do put on pounds, the fat will tend to be more evenly distributed than before liposuction since some of the problem area fat cells have been removed. Fat won't show up in weird places.
