I understand that BBL procedure involves taking out the fat in unwanted areas and putting them in your butt but isn't only 20% of the fat taken out purified enough to put into your butt? So would that mean you're also losing fat/weight as well since the other 80% is permanently out of your body?
Answer: Weight loss thru BBL It is accurate to expect some weight loss after BBL . Usually , in a full body liposuction , 5 liters of fat are removed from your body ( equivalent to 5 kg ) . After using the fat destined for graft , you could still weight around 2.5 - 4 kg less than pre op. Do not expect to see this weight loss before 2 months post op. Fluid retention in the first 4-8 weeks post op will cause your scale to be above pre op weight or same. Best wishes

Answer: BBL and weight In BBL you will have liposuction to contour your body as per routine liposuction. Most surgeons including myself will limit the amount of aspirate ( i.e how much we lipo ) to 4-5 litres. In my hands for a BBL often each buttock can only accommodate 800-1000ml of fat put back in. So you might be little lighter in weight after this procedure once all the swelling has settled, but it is not an exact 20/80 like you have suggested.

Answer: Weight change after liposuction and fat transfer Most likely you will not see you a long-term weight change unless you change your diet or exercise routine.

Answer: After getting a BBL, will I weigh less than I did before once the swellling goes down? Although, the fat that is removed during liposuction is cleaned and processed, significantly more than 20% is available for transfer. In some patient, all of the fat removed is processed and re-injected; in some patients there is significantly more fat removed than is necessary for transfer. If your case is the former, you may not note a significant weight reduction following the procedure. If your surgeon is abe to remove much more than is required for fat transfer, then you may note a couple of pound weight reduction. However, it may take a few weeks to note this weight reduction as you will be swollen ( and retain fluid) in the first couple of weeks after the surgery. Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
