Weight gain after fat transfer to breast, will my breasts disappear if I lose weight?

Question

Hi I had fat transfer to breast 3.5 weeks ago. I was a 34aa previously and I estimate now a full A cup. I am petite and was slim, but with eating well,as advised, and not doing normal exercise my weight has increased to the heaviest I’ve ever been and I look it! I’m worried that once I start exercising and eating less, my modest increase in breast size will disappear. Thoughts, advice?

If you exercise or lose weight, the fat grafted will not disappear unless overall body fat stores decrease.  Check with your PS regarding return to strenuous exercise.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear KLV23,
you will likely see your weight gain in a uniform distribution after a fat transfer to the buttock (Brazilian buttock lift). The weight or fat that you gain after surgery will not necessarily all go to your buttock area. Similar to weight loss, It’s important to realize that weight loss will affect the entire body, but it may affect the buttock in a more pronounced manner.

Even though you may loose weight, you still had fat transferred to your breasts and some should still remain. You may have somewhat less volume with weight loss.
