How soon can I be in Calorie deficit after Brazilian Butt Lift to lose weight?

Question

I'm slightly overweight but had to maintain my weight to make sure I have enough fat for my Brazilian Butt Lift. Need to lose weight after surgery . If I make sure I get enough protein, vitamins and minerals during my recovery process can I start cutting calories immediately after surgery?

Hi.. thank you for the question.... generally after a surgical procedure your metabolism increases.. (Healing process)... And protein and others are needed... i suggest you to start cutting calories at least 15 days after procedure

Thank you for your question.  I recommend a low carb diet rather than a low calorie diet.  This will allow for good healing and a good nutritional status rather than being calorie deficient.  I recommend this diet anytime.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Your weight fluctuations should be discussed prior to surgery with your surgeon as you will gain or lose fat proportionately. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Consult with your surgeon regarding dieting. Often one should wait 4-6 weeks until you are full healed.
