I Heard That Fat Shows Up in Weird Places After Lipo. Will This Also Happen After the BBL Surgery?

Jennie526
I've read that after standard liposuction, fat starts showing up in unexpected places. I heard that this happens because the body has a standard number of fat cells and after the removal of fat cells from one location, the body just reproduces them somewhere else. Does this also happen after the Brazilian Butt lift procedure? Or is this not a problem because the removed fat cells are manually transferred to the buttocks?
