How does fat stay in place after BBL? Can I jog?

Question

I had bbl with fat trsfrd to my outer thighs. I recently spoke to a patient whose fat had migrated down their leg which concerned me. I'm 2.5 months post op and the fat in my outer thighs feels thick/firmish if I bend, not completely integrated into my tissue. I am afraid that if I move too much the fat could migrate. will the fat stay in place after transfer to the outer thighs and bbl?How? When can I perform activities with lots of movement? Can I jog and will the fat still stay in place?

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
After a BBL, you lose or gain weight in the same way as before. So, if you lose a considerable amount of weight, the results of your surgery will be affected.
You can maintain your BBL results 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 :)

The fat injected has to be obtain a blood supply from the surrounding tissue.  Once this occurs the fat will then survive.
