Can I Do Butt Exercises Post BBL to Build Muscle Prevent Sagging and Make Butt Bigger?

Question

I had a bbl 7 weeks ago. Very happy with results and now I am thinking long term Can I do butt exercises now to increase the size of the muscle to prevent future sagging or will the butt exercises cause shrinkage to the fat cells that have been newly injected into the gut muscles. I noticed I had a little more reabsorption in on cheekthan the other. Can butt exercise help build volume to compensate for the reabsorption disparity?

Many patients ask about exercising after a Brazilian Butt Lift. I advise my patients to wait 6 weeks after surgery before exercising. After that time, exercises to build buttock musculature should not diminish the results of your fat transfer (squats, stairs, and kettlebell swings are very helpful for this). If you do a lot of cardio and/or dieting and lose weight, the fat loss will come from all over your body, not just the buttock region.

	I hope that helps and wish you the best!

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to wait at least 4-6 weeks before resuming their workout routine (cardio, lift, etc.).
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 :)
