Weight loss after BBL - same belly fat that was hard to lose before bbl is drastically dropping now?

Question

Why do you lose weight so fast after bbl? The same belly fat that was hard to lose before bbl is drastically dropping now. Why is that?

Moises Salama, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. A BBL requires lipo 360, which is lipo of the uppper and lower back, upper and lower abdomen, and hips. That said, it is harder to gain weight in the areas where lipo has been performed since fat cells are removed through liposuction. Hope this explanation helps. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear Good969383,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

A BBL procedure uses harvested fat from other areas of your body. This requires alteration in areas including the abdomen, back and flanks- when the excess fat is removed. A small amount of weight loss would not alter your results. Hope this helps.

Weight loss is measured in weight in relationship to how much someone weighed earlier.

The ability to gain or lose weight doesn’t change much from having Liposuction procedures and in fact most people end up gaining some weight after liposuction procedures considering that some fat is thrown away.

Abdominal size does not always correspond to weight loss as much as people want because there’s a lot of fat in the abdomen presented as visceral fat.

This is why overweight people who get liposuction don’t look like skinny people.

A substantial amount of the grafted fat is lost overtime within the first few months from the BBL procedure.

That sells our fat cells and they don’t really care where they are on the body.

Best,
