Does workout need to change after BBL?

Question

For patients who get bbl will the results be lost if they exercise same as before? I do a lot of jogging, walking, cardio everyday which I enjoy and find good for my mood but after bbl could this damage results? Would the fat in new location respond differently to these exercises than fat that was previously in ambdomen / waist / flanks?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

As a body builder, I understand the benefits to one's mood after a good workout.  As a board certified plastic surgeon, I advocate continued weight lifting and exercise after a BBL as long as you do not lose body fat.  Keep an eye on your weight, and decrease the amount of exercise as warranted.

Thanks for your
question.  Immediately following your BBL
procedure, I do not like my patients exercising while they are healing.  But, after a month or two, I think that
exercise is okay and will not affect the results of the BBL within reason.  I would ask your surgeon when it would be
advisable to return to your exercise regimen. 
But, if you do lose weight after BBL, the fat will shrink just like it
would on the rest of your body and the buttocks will look smaller.  I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Keep in mind as you workout if you lose weight the fat can be lost anywhere including your buttocks. So if you do a lot of cardio that could shrink the fat you had transferred into the buttocks. Exercise is good but I would keep that in mind as you plan your workouts once your plastic surgeon has cleared you to do so. Hope this helps,Dr. Newall

Hello, thanks so much for your interesting question. After a BBL it is recommended not to do a lot of cardio for at least a couple of months, you need to keep your weight stable as much as possible. Good luckRespectfully,

The fat in the buttocks increases or decreases in proportion to changes in weight not muscle tone.  So, if you lose weight the fat will shrink.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Our recommendation is that patients avoid all exercise and minimize movements and pressure for the first several weeks after a BBL.

After that exercise should have no impact on The fat transferred or liposuction results.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom M.D.

Thank you for your question.I wouldn’t recommend increasing the amount of cardio you do because that could cause weightloss which will affect your BBL results. If you can maintain your weight through your regular fitness routine and balanced diet then I would continue engaging in these activities. Best of luck in your endeavors.Sincerely,
