Can I go into a Keto diet after 6 months of a successful BBL to keep fat of the rest of my body?

Question

I got a Brazilian butt lift and got lipo on many areas of my body. I did this surgery back in April so it’s been so it’s been more than 6 months and slowly started gaining some of my weight back into areas like stomach and back, breast and of course the butt. I’ve tried other diets but haven’t been able to stick to one. I’ve been wanting to try the Keto diet but I’m afraid it’s gonna affect the fat transfer i did. I wouldn’t want my momenybto go to waste and not to mention the pain and sufferin

Thank you for your question!  You should consult with your plastic surgeon, but personally I do not think the keto diet is healthy long term.  I recommend a well balanced diet consisting of protein, dark green vegetables, and complex carbs.  Try eating frequent small meals and adding an exercise program.  Best of luck!

Weight loss will definitely cause a loss in buttock fat as it will in other areas as well.  If you have very little body fat, a 10 lb loss can be significant.  A well balanced diet is probably reasonable advice.  Add swimming or walking to your daily exercise.

Overall, your fat cells will enlarge you if gain weight post-procedure, and your fat cells will diminish of you loss weight post-procedure. Therefore, it is best to maintain your weight.

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
We always encourage a healthy lifestyle after surgery. You just have to keep in mind that after a BBL, you lose or gain weight in the same way as before. So the answer is yes, if you lose a considerable amount of weight, the results of your surgery will be affected.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

I recommend a plant based diet  avoiding highly processed foods. I think eating moderate amounts of meat and fish is acceptable for those willing to accepts they are contributing to the killing and slaughter of animals to support your diet.Personally I believe all carniovours should at some point in their life face slaughter face to face. The awareness of what we eat is much more important than the perception of fad diets keeping our asses big while maintaining a skinny body. Yes a BBL is a fairly intense operation that has a 1:3000 mortality rate.  It is currently considered the most dangerous of all cosmetic procedures.I don't think the keto diet will be part of American vocabulary in ten years.  I also don't think it is healthy and for those who are overweight simply need to eat less food to get to a healthy weight.Best,   Mats Hagstrom, MD
