Will building muscle after a BBL ruin my results?

Question

I work out a lot to build my glutes and thighs but I'm scared that if I get a BBL and continue building muscle there it will burn all the fat away from that area. Will that happen? Should I even bother getting one?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

For most patients strenuous activity can be resumed 6 weeks post op.  Squats and lunges after BBL will increase muscle bulk and definition, which is probably a good thing if you are looking to achieve a more projected, lifted buttock.  However, just make sure that the body fat percentage is held in check or you will lose some of the fat.

Hello, thank you for the question.
I personally dont recommend to excercise till you're fully recovered. After that, exercising will improve the look of your buttocks. So, you don't have to worry about it. Best of lucks.

Dear gogina,
building your gluts is a great way to enhance your buttock region and I recommend to all of my BBL patients. It not only ads volume to the buttocks but lifts the buttocks in a more anatomic position.  But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
You can maintain your BBL results permanently  with exercise and a clean diet. 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 follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

As long as you follow the recovery plan and wait until you are fully recover, building muscle should improve your BBL results. Building muscle is a natural way of contouring and defining your buttock. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
