If I Gain Weight Will I Mostly Gain in my Butt After Brazilian Butt Lift?

It’s not unusual for patients to be concerned about what
happens when they gain or lose weight following brazilian butt lift
surgery.It’s highly probable that
transplanted fat cells behave in the same manner in their new location as they
did in their previous location.In other
words, they will respond to exercise and diet just as they did before.This
means that when patients gain weight following brazilian butt lift surgery,
more weight will be gained in the buttock region and less weight will be gained
in the donor site areas.When patients
lose weight, the exact opposite phenomena will occur.It’s important to realize that weight gain
will affect the entire body, but it may affect the buttock in a more pronounced
manner.For
these reasons, weight swings can have a dramatic impact on the results of
brazilian butt lift surgery.It’s
therefore important to avoid significant weight changes following this
procedure.

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

Thank you for your question!  If you gain weight your buttocks most likely will get bigger, if you loose weight it will get smaller. The first place you will start to gain weight will be your buttocks but if you were to gain a significant amount of weight it will distribute throughout your body.   Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicagoHoffman EstatesOak Brook
