Thank you for your question. You will proportionally loose the fat.There is no way to make the fat go away in your wanted areas instead of your buttocks.

I don't suggest to actively try losing weight right after surgery. When I consult my patient's for this particular surgery, I mention that you want to try and maintain weight with eating healthy protein and vitamins and staying toned with weight training. If you lose weight there is no telling how it will affect certain areas, so it could very well make your butt smaller. Thank you for your question and for sharing your picture.
