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.

Brazilian butt lift (fat transfer to the buttock) is so
popular because it enables your plastic surgeon to transform your entire
shape. Liposuction is performed over
several areas depending on the individual patient needs, but typically of the
flanks, abdomen, back and thighs. You
currently have a very square shape (which is more common than most people
realize).



The liposculpting will allow your surgeon to bring in your
hips and waist giving you more of an hour glass figure. You already have some shape to your buttock
and this will be able to be enhanced to give you a very attractive buttock.



The butt augmentation is your own fat so it acts like any
other part of your body. It will get
larger with weight gain and smaller with weight loss. However the fat will not just go to your
buttock. It will also go any other area
that you still have some fat remaining.



When considering this procedure it is very important that
you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

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

You will likely see your weight gain everywhere after a Brazilian buttock lift but since there's more living fat there, it will likely grow more there! The reverse could be true as well, so be careful to not lose a bunch of weight!  Best wishes
