What does feeding the fat after a BBL mean?

Question

Does it mean gaining weight after a BBL or maintaining the results?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

My practice provides a post-op checklist encouraging patients to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein (100 grams/day) into their diets, while reducing the intake of sugars, simple carbohydrates, and saturated fats.  I recommend that my patients take 100 grams of protein each day during the healing phase for the first six weeks following surgery. This protein can be in the form of manufactured premier protein shakes or optimum whey protein added to milk or water.  The objective is not weight gain but promotion of healing.

Dear midwestgirl92,
you will likely see your weight gain in a uniform distribution after a fat transfer to the buttock (Brazilian buttock lift). The weight or fat that you gain after surgery will not necessarily all go to your buttock area. Similar to weight loss, It’s important to realize that weight loss will affect the entire body, but it may affect the buttock in a more pronounced manner.
