Will I lose my Brazilian Butt Lift if I train for a fitness competition?

Question

So I got a Brazilian butt lift in 2013, the liposuction then put the fat into my butt. Which is a pretty good size I love it!!! But I want to train for a bikini/physique competition and have to get my body fat % very low, so my question is am I going to lose the fat/ roundness/ projection I paid so much to get and if so how much. My current body fat % is 26 and my hips/butt is 33", also if I do lose it can I regain it again if stop working out etc. Thanks A Bunch All :)

Hi... thank you for the question... Wen the fat tissue is lipo-transfer to a region of the body... it start been a fat tissue like the others of the body. If you gain weigh it increases, if you loose weight it will decrease depending in how much weight you loose.

Thank you for your question .Brazillian buttlift is basically the transfer of your own fat to their buttocks and like any other part of your body where localized fat have a weight loss that fat is also lost if fat gain weight increases.I hope my answer will help you to your question.Before undergoing any surgical procedure, please seek a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your questions.  The Brazilian butt lift procedure transferred fat to your buttocks.  Just as fat anywhere else in your body, the fat in your buttocks will increase or decrease depending on your diet and exercise.  When you stop working out, you can get back the shape you have now in your buttocks if your body fat percentage increases.All the best,Dr. JSB
