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

A healthy lifestyle is always encouraged. Whenever making significant dietary changes -- you should ask your surgical team or your primary care physician. You want to make sure you are making healthy, long term choices that will work and not cause you any detriments. All the best!

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.
