Hi, two years ago I lost 85 pounds after dieting and excercising reaching my ideal weight of 135 at 5'4. With lots of excess skin and sagging breasts I had a tummy tuck and Breastlift and augmentation to fantastic results. My butt however was still quite saggy and I opted for butt implants and they became infected so took them out. 2 years later I gained 40 pounds and just had a butt lift done with 450 cc in each side.... When can I start to diet and exercise to get back to my ideal weight? Thx

Exercising after you Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

I would suggest to you to not focus on the numbers relating to your weight gain and focus on getting back what you viewed as your ideal body.

After a couple weeks they can start walking on a treadmill and at about 4-6 weeks post-operatively patients can start back on their fitness routine. Please do consult with your surgeon about specific postoperative... more

You should discuss this with your doctor so he or she can give you direction and you can have the best result you can have.

Regarding"...just had a butt lift done with 450 cc in each side.... When can I start to diet and exercise to get back to my ideal weight?" This question should be directed to your surgeon. Each one of us has a slightly different way of manging our Brazilian Butt Lift and other cosmetic surgery patient which is based on our varying experiences. Two concerns must be covered; First, when is it SAFE to resume vigorous exercise without risking the very take or survival of... more

Exercise after buttock lift

First and foremost, you should consult with your operating surgeon to get specific instructions on postoperative care. I restrict patients from placing pressure on the buttocks (sitting) for a period of time. I allow light exercise to start with a couple of weeks and gradually increase their exercise from there. I believe that patients that maintain their body and exercise postoperatively specifically to strengthen the gluteal muscles improve their overall result. more

You may consider that if you get back to your ideal weight might present you with the same problem of sagging buttocks skin. It is very important for patients who desire body contouring surgery have a stable weight prior to any surgical intervention.
