Is it advantageous to workout my butt prior to BBL?

Question

I am 30 y/o, male, in good shape, and I am scheduled for BBL on 1/15/15. What is the advice regarding working out hard on my butt prior to surgery? I want to keep building it up as much as possible naturally too (they aren't going to have much fat to make it dramatic). But obviously I don't want to detract from my results. Is it advantageous to work out my butt hard in the months prior to BBL? Disadvantageous? Any time frame in which to discontinue workouts?

Thank you for your question. Heavy workouts before  a surgery are not recommended as it stresses the body.  The week prior, just reduce your owrkouts to minor workouts for 30 minutes a day.I hope this helps!

As a bodybuilder and plastic surgeon, I can tell you that muscle building is fine, but I would not try to lose additional body fat.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Building muscle will not detract from your results. If you lose a large amount of weight, you might have less donor fat to transfer, but building muscle in itself will not negatively impact your results.

Daniel Del Vecchio, MD · Answer

It's less about your muscle mass and more about how much available fat you will have. If you work out a lot you will probably have less fat to suction which will ultimately dictate the size of your buttockssurgical technique also varies greatly in terms of how much fat is harvested. Finally, the technique of fat transplantation varies tremendously and will dictate how much fat survives. Best of luck with your BBL.

Working out will help build muscle but will not affect your future BBL before surgery.  Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

Working out your butt will have no effect on your result. What you need is adequate donor fat and  having a Board Certified PS with experience performing the BBL. Given the above, you should do well. Good luck!
