My question is once this procedure has been completed and say the person really got into some heavy cardio and thus were burning a lot of fat would the body be able to burn the fat that was moved to the buttocks or does it not have the associated blood vessels to enable this?

I’m not even sure if that’s how lipids are metabolised, but I assume it’s through the blood.

    Thanks.

    Number 1 is an interesting point and I asked something similar to another reply.

    I wondered if the say the body already knows which fat cell is next to be burned, like a map. Then say if the waist was next but that was moved to the butt would it still be waist or now butt.

    Your question is also interesting in that should there be a given amount of fat in each region and will the body fight for equilibrium again.

      I would imagine that if the body is not used to burning fat in a specific area, it would probably continue not burning fat in that area, until it had no choice but to burn there.
