Will diet pills attack the fat transferred after a BBL?

Question

I was taking before my surgery. I am now 6 weeks post op....and would like to go back to my diet and exercise routine and yes, diet pills where in my diet prior to BBL. my fat transfer was very very minamul. Actually quite sad about it. I gained weight just to have more to transfer and got only 425cc in each cheek. PS is stating not enough fat can be harvest for a successful 2 round which is odd because I am overweight. So will the pills kill the little fat that has been transfered? Thank you all for your time

You may want to consider another evaluation if you are overweight.  I perform a lot of BBL revisions, but I would have to see pictures or examine you to make this determination.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

When fat is harvested and regretted it still carries the same propensity to hold fat from the place from which it came. For example when fat is harvested from a resistant area like the flanks or lower abdomen it will have a tendency to hold back through diet and exercise as if it were in those areas. However, as you lose weight you will find you will lose fat in your fat crafted bucks. Her average fat graft her but it cheek is around 900 mL. Usually patients require more than six or 700 and order to see a nice change. If you have residual fat it certainly could be grafted as a secondary fat graft. Always seek a board-certified plastic surgeon and get several consultations before your procedure.

Actually diet pills do not attack the fat, the main mechanism of action is by means of suppressing or decreasing the appetite so the patients eat less food (less calories) , first of all you have to know that when people lose weight it means that the amount of fat in the body decrease and this decreasing is in every part of the including the butt, so your butt size might decrease too. I advice you to disccus possibilities with your plastic surgeon
