Is it true that if you gain weight after a BBL surgery, the surface of the skin will be uneven and lumpy? I have seen photos of patient that look good during recovery however she gain weight a few years after lipo & BBL and the skin surface seems lumpy and bumpy compared to a non lipo-ed/BBL person of the same size

Answer: Keeping things simple There are basically two variables to determine quality cosmetic surgery outcomes. The first is patient candidacy, and the second is the skill of the surgeon. Procedures are either done well or not done well on patients who are either good candidates or not such good candidates. Weight gain is weight gain and people get fat or get skinny and all of these are fairly independent. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD

Answer: Buttock Cellulite Hi. The fat graft shouldn't cause lumpiness after weight gain. I believe the lumpiness you are referring to is Cellulite. It's caused by small fibers that tether the skin down. When people gain weight, these tetherings become more obvious and prominent. They can be treated with Aveli, which cuts the fibers that tether down the skin and cause dimpling and lumps.
