Weight loss and fitness 2 years after a BBL: will exercise impact my shape?

In general it is better to lose weight prior to Brazilian buttlift if you will still have ample fat stores.  If you stay within 10 or 20 lbs of your operative weight, you are likely to maintain the results. The fat will not move, but losses in weight will distribute differently. The fat that lives in the buttocks from the procedure will get larger with weight gain and smaller with weight loss.

Hello and thank you for your question. Significant weight loss after BBL leads to global loss of fat, and can potentially alter the shape that you have achieved with BBL. Best,

Dear RSMember14740,
you will likely see your weight gain in a uniform distribution after a fat transfer to the buttock (Brazilian buttock lift). The weight or fat that you gain after surgery will not necessarily all go to your buttock area. Similar to weight loss, It’s important to realize that weight loss will affect the entire body, but it may affect the buttock in a more pronounced manner.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Lifting, squats and lunges after a BBL will only help increase muscle bulk and definition and achieve a more projected buttocks.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Hi and welcome to our forum!Before performing BBL, we recommend that the patient be within 10-15 pounds of their desired healthy body weight. Significant weight gain or loss after the procedure will compromise the result. A 30 pound loss is considerable and will have consequences. One cannot predict exactly where the deficits will appear. The loss of fat is usually uniform as the body cannot discern between newly transplanted vs. native fat. Being at a healthy weight has significant health impacts and should be of primary importance to you. Best wishes... 

If you lose weight after the surgery even if it has been two years, the fat will shrink away. The fat remembers where it came from. If the fat was originally on your stomach and would have shrunk with a 30lbs weight loss pre-surgey, then it will also leave your butt/hips with a 30lbs weight loss. You may lose all the extra volume transferred and also may drastically change your shape. Also with weight loss or weight gain post op, you can leave your areas of lipo lumpy and bumpy. 

The fat that was transferred will respond the same way any normal fat cell would to exercise, eating, etc. Exercising can only help improve your overall aesthetic. Gaining weight and eating poorly can negatively affect your BBL results.  A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation.

The procedure gave you a permanent new fat distribution. If you lose weight you will do so according to the new fat distribution. Your bottom will always be proportionately bigger and the areas treated with Liposuction will always be proportionately smaller. People rarely look good being heavy and this Includes people who have had fat transfer procedures. You will lose some of the results but your body will shrink as well. Most people look better being thin and this includes patients who have had a BBLkeep up the good work.Best, Mats Hagstrom,MD
