Will weight loss injections affect 8 year old BBL?

Question

Had a bbl 8yrs ago now im on a weigtloss injection Is my butt fat safe on the weight loss journey?

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEPOBRAS · Answer

The fat that survived your BBL after 8 years is now living fat, just like fat in the rest of your body. A weight loss injection should not specifically "kill" the transferred fat, but if you lose overall body fat, the buttock fat can shrink too.
How much change you see depends on how much weight you lose, your genetics, where you tend to lose fat first, your starting body composition, and your skin elasticity. Some patients keep a nice shape but become smaller; others notice less projection, more hip dip visibility, or looser skin after significant or rapid weight loss.
The best way to protect your result is to lose weight gradually, keep protein intake adequate, do glute/leg resistance training, and avoid large weight swings if possible. Work with the clinician prescribing the medication so the weight loss is medically supervised. If you reach your goal weight and feel the BBL has changed too much, wait until your weight is stable before considering touch-up fat grafting or other revision options.

Hello, thank you for your question.
I'm afraid yes, it's possible to lose volume in your buttocks during your weight loss process. The fat will act like any other fat in your body. The amount you lose will depend on how much weight you lose and how your body naturally stores fat.
Most people maintain some shape, but some volume loss is normal.

Dear jaz209,

it depends on the type of injections as some can cause fat atrophy at the injection site. It is best to consult your plastic surgeon and get his opinion.

If you lose fat everywhere, you can lose fat in the butt too. How much varies person to person. Skin quality and how aggressively you lose weight also matter. Gradual change is always safer than rapid crash loss.
