Had a fat transfer to the buttocks. Will taking dietary supplements that targets the ab lose volume in the buttocks?

If you had fat transfer to your buttocks, it's typically best not to lose weight. Your fat is subjective and if you lose weight or gain weight in excess, the fat that was transferred can be effected. Maintaining your weight and weight training to tone and build muscle is usually recommended. Thank you for your question and happy healing!Melinda Lacerna, MD FACS

Thank you for your question.This is an important question that we get asked often. Any supplement that you take for fat reduction will target the fat all over your body, including your buttocks. It is best to try and maintain your weight if you do not want to affect the fat that was harvested to your buttocks region. Also, be careful when taking any dietary supplement, make sure you read the nutrition label and consult with your doctor before you start taking anything.Good luck on your recovery.Dr James Fernau
