Working out after a BBL (glute focused training)

The great thing about this surgery is that the transformation that occurs in a couple of hours in the operating room trumps any period of time in the gym.  Having said that, lunges, squats, and other exercises that cause hypertrophy of the gluteus muscles will help the result. Squats and lunges after a BBL will only increase muscle bulk and definition which is probably a good thing in most women looking to achieve a more projected, lifted buttock.  However, just make sure that the body fat percentage is held in check or you will lose some of the fat.  And do not overdo it at first; gradually build up to what you were able to lift before the BBL.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA

Exercise can be resumed after 6 weeks post op. Fat that is transferred will be lost and gained just like all other fat.

Patients are advised not to exercise or perform
strenuous activities for 6 weeks following surgery to allow the body to heal. Our
patients are advised to wear a compression surgical garment for this period of
time. Once patients have been examined and
cleared to return to an exercise regiment, they are encouraged to begin slowly
and work their way back up to what they were accustomed to prior to their surgery.

Final results are typically observed at
the 6 months to 1 year mark following surgery. Of course any weight loss or
gain the patient experiences can have an impact on the results and we encourage
our patients to be at a stable healthy weight at the time of their surgery. Any
weight lost due to exercise will be proportionate to the entire body and not
localized in one area. Exercising and keeping the body strong and tight will
only highlight the results achieved through surgery.
