I had a BBL in August so I’m just at 6 months post op. I would like to lose a few pounds so I am thinking about taking the semaglutide shots. How can the shots affect my BBL? Could it shrink it if I lose weight? My focus is to get my stomach down a little more and lose on my arms and face.

Answer: Great question! Hi! We are seeing more and more weight loss cases with semaglutide and other weight loss medications. This medication works by decreasing your gastric emptying, therefore decreasing your appetite. It is not targeted specifically for fat loss, but as in any weight loss, you will lose fat. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing where you'll lose more fat, but most likely will be lost overall throughout your body. So in that sense, yes you will see a decrease in your buttock fat with any type of weight loss. In my experience, I usually see a noticeable difference in my patients when they lose more than 10-15lbs. Hope this helps!

Answer: BBL and Semaglutides Dear Cosmopolitan12, every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
