bbl and anabolic steroids - Was it a big mistake to lose a lot of weight 6 months after bbl?

Question

Hello, I am a guy in my late 30s and I used anabolic steroids 6 months after having bbl and lost 10kg weight (I wanted to cut and get leaner). As a consequence I went from 85kg to 75kg and lost a lot of my bum. Now I am bulking and I hope to get my bum back. Was it a big mistake to lose a lot of weight 6 months after bbl? Will my bum come back or I killed the cells during the cycle? Thanks

Dear guapoeton123,
you will likely see your weight gain in a uniform distribution after a fat transfer to the buttock (Brazilian buttock lift). The weight or fat that you gain after surgery will not necessarily all go to your buttock area. Similar to weight loss, It’s important to realize that weight loss will affect the entire body, but it may affect the buttock in a more pronounced manner.

If you lose overall body fat, you will probably lose some of the fat in the buttocks as well.  In most cases of weight loss, the buttocks and other areas with stored fat will become smaller.  The fat will not move, but losses in weight will distribute differently. The fat that lives in the buttocks from the BBL will get larger with weight gain and smaller with weight loss.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Following a BBL, we recommend that the patient be at their stable desired body weight at the time of surgery and maintain that weight after surgery. Weight fluctuation of as little as 10 pounds may have a profound effect upon buttock fullness. Fat cells are not "killed" by weight loss. The cells lose their volume but remain viable. Weight gain should restore the volume. 
Best wishes...

Do use of anabolic steroids will not permanently change anyone’s fat distribution.I think that pretty much answers your question.A 10 kg weight drop is substantial and I could see why much of a fat transfer result would vanishThat’s pretty much what happens with that when you lose a lot of weight.Gain the weight and your results will return.Personally I think most people look better being lean and having less fat in their bottom or elsewhere.Your results were final at six months. That will be your baseline if you get back to the weight you were at that time.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
