Dr. Robert Whitfield explains that keeping your BMI stable or gaining muscle preserves transferred fat, while weight loss risks the results. He also advises correcting skin dimples and contour issues during the fat transfer itself rather than in separate surgeries.
That's a great question. So I think there's this, this conversation around fat transfers that they don't last. They're going to go away or some magical mythical thing is going to happen to them. So if we maintain our BMI and go up potentially, like put on muscle, put on healthy fat, that will help us maintain a result. If we create a calorie deficit or over train or under eat or that combo and drop our bmi, then we're more likely to endanger a result. What's the question feel like? Oh, here it is. I had an explant capsulectomy 4 weeks ago and my lower left side had capsule retention. I did not notice until the past week and is showing deformity in and above the area with some deep dimples. Yeah, basically, if we have contour problems, we just correct them at the time of the fat transfer and we can address skin at that time too. I try to balance out the procedures. We don't want to, you know, have to continue to do more procedures if we don't have to. The most, you know, efficient way I can do it for patients, I try.
