24, after BBL will I lose my results by going on the StairMaster and doing cardio?

Dear meganbbl2022,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Hello!
It's awesome that you are working on your health before surgery! And it will only help outcomes after surgery!
BBL adds fat to the buttocks between the skin and the muscle, typically fat taken from the back. In the past fat was added to the buttock muscle but this is no longer standard practice because of risks found to be associated with that technique. By using the stairmaster you are building up your gluteal muscles so you should see even better projection and tone in the buttocks after surgery. Weight loss programs associated with dramatic weight loss could reduced fullness in the buttocks.
Best of luck to you!

Thanks for your question. Weight loss, weight gain and exercise do affect BBL results. The fat transferred to your buttocks is affected in the same manner as when you normally lose weight or gain weight or exercise. Hope this helps. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon

Hi! Thank you for your question. After a BBL, intense cardio like the StairMaster can lead to fat loss, which may reduce the volume in your buttocks. For the first 6-8 weeks, it’s best to avoid high-impact cardio to give the transferred fat cells the best chance to "take" and survive. Instead, focus on light walking to promote circulation. Once cleared by your surgeon, you can gradually reintroduce exercise, but incorporating strength training for the glutes may help maintain and even enhance your results. Always follow your surgeon’s specific recovery guidelines for optimal results.

About 40% of the transferred fat naturally gets reabsorbed by the body during the first four months post-procedure, so results can be unpredictable. A certain type of Exercise can also be a cons.

Him, thanks for your question. The answer is no, you will not lose your results. Your results will be fine if you do exercise. In fact, all the patients should go to the gym after their surgery to maintain the results. Don't forget to follow your surgeon's instructions and start your cardio at the right moment after your procedure. Congrats!

Hello Megan. Thank you for this question. I would definitely no StairMaster or other repetitive exercises for at least 6 weeks. The reason is.... When we are doing liposuction, we are removing Fat Cells. The nice thing about fat cells is that you don't make new ones. When we suction them out of your body, we are detaching them from their blood supply which is what keeps them alive. We purify the cells and inject them back into your buttocks. Now, even though they are back in your body, they are still not connected to a new blood vessel. During the first few weeks, your body is growing new blood vessels to each of those new fat cells. The more you are moving them around, the fewer will survive. Those that don't survive will break down and be reabsorbed.
So, the less motion of your buttocks the better.
