Is it true that after getting a Brazilian Butt lift and then lose weight, you will lose some of the fat in your buttocks?
Answer: Weight Loss Affects The Entire Body It’s not unusual for patients to be concerned about what happens when they gain or lose weight following brazilian butt lift surgery. It’s highly probable that transplanted fat cells behave in the same manner in their new location as they did in their previous location.In other words, they respond to exercise and diet just as they did before.This means that when patients lose weight following brazilian butt lift surgery, more weight will be lost in the buttock region and less weight will be lost in the donor site areas.When patients gain weight, the exact opposite phenomena will occur.It’s important to realize that weight loss will affect the entire body, but it may affect the buttock in a more pronounced manner.For these reasons, weight swings can have a dramatic impact on the results of brazilian butt lift surgery.It’s therefore important to avoid significant weight changes following this procedure.

Answer: BBL losing weight Thanks for your question...If you lose a significant amount of weight, all your fat cells in your body will shrink. Your fat cells in your buttocks won't go away but will shrink. Your buttocks should still look proportionately larger to the rest of your body though.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix. Regards,

Answer: BBL and Weight Loss dear Patient: thanks so much for your question. The fat cells that are transferred to your buttocks react like all the other fat cells in your body, if you gain weight, they will get bigger, if you loose weight they will get smaller. Hope this answers your question, remember to only go to Board Certified Plastic Surgeons for a BBL since they are trained for this specific procedure and they are the ones who will give you a safer overall result. If your Plastic Surgeon is FACS and member of the ASAPS and ASPS is another level of safety as well. Ron Soltero MD FACS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Member ASPS Member ASAPS

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there after the recovery process

Answer: BBL and Weight Loss The question of the perfect weight as it relates to BBL is fast becoming one of the most commonly posted questions in the RealSelf community. While it is true BBL is a weight sensitive procedure (in the sense that you need fat to achieve your result), it is never a good idea to pursue short term changes for surgery. While there is no absolute number (lbs.) in terms of weight for undergoing liposuction with autologous fat transfer, the optimal candidate has reached a healthy and stable weight (preferably with a BMI less than 30, which is associated with a lower incidence of complications). Potential candidates should also have adequate fat reserves for transfer. This becomes especially important when one considers the anticipated rate of fat resorption and graft loss. I typically recommened patients aim for at least 500 cc transferred per cheek. This would amount to 1 liter of fat (not lipoaspirate) after processing. Candidates with inadequate fat reserves are likely to be disappointed with their ultimate volume once healing is complete. If you have reached a healthy stable weight (preferably with a BMI less than 30), the focus should be on maintaining. I typically do not recommend gaining/losing weight for the sake of surgery alone (weight loss for the sake of your health is a different story). It is important to remember that weight changes post procedure can potentially compromise the results of your buttock augmentation (as transferred fat can change with weight just as it could prior). If you plan on losing weight, I would do so before surgery and plan on maintaining afterwards. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
