Gaining weight after a BBL?

Question

After you get a BBL & gain weight do all the results just go to waste ? Will you just gain weight where the fat as inserted?

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

In most cases of weight gain, the buttocks and other areas with stored fat will become larger.  About 50% of the fat that is transferred lives and becomes a part of you.  This will hold stable as long as there is no weight fluctuation.  The fat will not move, but gains in weight will distribute differently.  The fat that lives in the buttocks from the procedure will get larger with weight gain and smaller with weight loss.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

When you gain weight after a BBL the new fat cells in your buttocks will increase in size. If you lose weight, they will decrease in size. When considering anybody contouring procedure, such as a BBL, it's important to make sure that you are at a long-term stable weight with no plans for a dramatic increase or decrease.

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question. If you gain to much weight the results might be ruin, but it'll depend on how much fat you gain, and how your body assimilates it. All patients are different. so it's unpredictable to know how it's going to be the change.Hope this could help and good luck :)

Nicholas A. Flugstad, MD · Answer

BBL consists of transferring fat to your buttocks. The majority of that fat will survive and again become part of your body. That fat can grow if you gain weight, and can shrink if you lose weight. In general, you will not lose your entire result by gaining some weight, but you will lose some definition of your buttocks because you will gain weight in your hip and flank area too. It is definitely best to maintain a sable weight if possible after this procedure. Your results will be long lasting.
