Does anyone have experience with losing weight after BBL?

Question

After my lipo and Fat transfer, I am still going to have some weight I want to loose... (For the sake of my face) Does losing weight after this procedure affect your results?

Carolina Restrepo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. After a BBL, the fat that survives is there permanently. Around 70% of fat that is grafted is typically expected to survive long term. We also put a little extra to account for loss of fat post operative, which is reabsorbed gradually by the body. if a patient have extra weight loss after surgery, they can experience changes in the size of their buttocks as in the rest of the body. Best of luck!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Yes, losing weight will likely contribute to some loss in the buttocks as it would in other areas of the body.

Thank you for your question. This is a very important question to ask any surgeon who performs this procedure routinely. If fat is transferred anywhere in the body including the face, breasts, buttocks, arms and calves  or any other area for that matter it will respond to weight gain and weight loss.   This must be taken into consideration during your initial consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.   There are many options available.   You can save some areas of fat to be harvested at a later date and re-graft the buttock region.   Alternatively, you can undergo  FDA approved procedures on the face which will refine  facial contour including laser facelift and neck lift .   This is called #Precision TX .  #Kybella is a natural deoxycholate injection which is FDA approved for the submental region to treat the double chin deformity. there are many other options available and I wanted to mention two of the cutting-edge technologies which are available and we routinely perform them.    I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck in your endeavors!
