Brazilian Butt Lift
Will I Lose Fat from Brazilian Butt Lift if I Do Butt Workouts?
Typically, once the surgery has healed (think 4-6 months), there should not be substantial change in your buttock contour after brazilian butt lift with small changes in weight. We do counsel our patients that if they are planning to lose more than 50 pounds this may affect the shape of the buttocks after surgery however generally patients with more than 50 pounds to lose may not be ideal candidates for this surgery.
Clinical Context
Fat transferred in a BBL is living tissue that must reconnect to a blood supply to survive. Once healed, these fat cells respond to your overall body fat percentage, growing or shrinking along with it, rather than to specific muscles you work. Strength exercises like squats build the gluteal muscle underneath but don't add or remove fat volume. This is why the transferred fat's size can change with significant weight loss or gain, but not with targeted workouts alone.
