When After a BBL Can I Start to Diet and Exercise?

Most patients will recover from a Brazilian butt augmentation relatively soon. In about a month, you will be able to exercise without any problem. Now, the question is if you really want to lose weight. Your buttock will get smaller as you lose weight.  The fat used behaves in the same way as the fat from where it was taken from. If you gain weight, your buttock will get bigger. If you lose weight, your buttock will get smaller.  The good news is that your proportions will be better. If the procedure was done correctly, your waist should be smaller and the waist to hip ratio will be within the beautiful range of about 0.7. In other orders, if you lose weight, your proportions should be the same and your butt will look larger than the rest of your body even though you lost weight.

Thank you for your question. After analyzed your photos I recommend you a mommy makeover, this procedure consist in combined tummy tuck, liposuction with DBL and Breast lift. But first, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

Exercise can be resumed after 6 weeks post op. Fat that is transferred will be lost and gained just like all other fat.

Thank you for your question. Hold off on exercising for 4-6 weeks, depending on how you are feeling. Some people recover faster than others. As far as dieting, it is important to maintain a healthy diet to ensure great results. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeonHoffman EstatesBarringtonOakbrookChicago

I would suggest to you to not focus on the numbers relating to your weight gain and focus on getting back what you viewed as your ideal body. For my patients I advise them post-operatively to be resting and not putting any pressure on the buttock area for a period of time. After a couple weeks they can start walking on a treadmill and at about 4-6 weeks post-operatively patients can start back on their fitness routine. Please do consult with your surgeon about specific postoperative instructions as they differ from surgeon to surgeon and by case.

What makes the Brazilian Butt lift such an incredible procedure is that you get to liposuction unwanted fat and have that injected into your buttocks for added projection. What patients need to know is that those fat cells function exactly the same way as other fat cells do. They expand as you are gaining weight, and decrease in size as you are losing weight. So excessive cardio after having the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure will lead to weight loss, therefore may decrease the size of your buttock area. A healthy fitness routine and focus on strengthening the gluteal muscles is recommended for the best buttock shape results. For more information on this procedure, take a look at the link below.
