Can I gain back the fat after BBL?

After a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), experiencing changes in fat volume due to weight loss is possible. To regain volume, you might consider gaining weight healthily to increase fat cells' size in your buttocks. Alternatively, a revision BBL could add more volume if you prefer not to gain weight. Always approach this in consultation with your plastic surgeon to explore the best strategy for your goals and health. A balanced diet and exercise can also help maintain your results.

Honestly, if you lose weight, the transferred fat will act just like other fat cells in the body. So if you have experienced weight loss after BBL and want to restore the results, you need to maintain your weight carefully. The fat survival rate after BBL is generally more than 80% and about 20%of fat is lost during the recovery. You have to wait for the final results up to 1 year.

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

Dear Cheerful122399,
if you gain weight your fat cells will increase in size. However, if you lose weight again you will also lose some volume.

Hi! A lot will depend on how much weight you've lost. Usually we recommend the patient to be in their ideal weight at the moment of the surgery due to this types of issues. I would need to see photos and know the weight loss in order to say if you'd need another procedure or see what can be done. Hope this helps  

The fat that is transferred survives a maximum of 70%, but it can be less, it depends on how the fat was treated at the time of putting it that so much water had etc, if you gain weight that fat that is transferred also increases in size

While some fat may be reabsorbed after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a significant portion usually remains. Maintaining a stable weight and following post-operative instruction can help enhance the long-term results. However, individual responses to the procedure can vary. It’s essential to consult with your surgeon for guidance based on your specific situation.

The BBL is a fat transfer procedure. Whenever someone has a fat transfer procedure, they will, by definition have both liposuction and fat transfer.
Both Liposuction and fat transfer will permanently change someone’s fat distribution.
Without intervention, your fat distribution is now based on the surgical manipulation. After about six months, the results become final and will not change, unless you have revision surgery or some other procedure.
Best,
