If I lose weight (mainly in my face) after BBL, will my butt size shrink too?

Question

I’m getting my bbl tomorrow and I’m so nervous yet excited. I know 60-70% the fat stays however, after my bbl I was hoping to lose some weight, mainly on my face. If I was to do so - I’m assuming my butt size will shrink too? Is there a way where I’m able to lose size in the face areas without effecting my body too much? Thanks in advance!

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
After a BBL, you lose or gain weight in the same way as before. So the answer is yes, if you lose weight, the results of your surgery will be affected.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
