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.

    doesn’t your body go into Ketosis?

    Yes, ketosis happens within a few days of limiting sugar intake.

    I didn’t think Ketones were a sugar.

    You’re right, they’re very different molecules. Ketone bodies can be converted into sugars by the enzymes in the liver if your body needs them, but they’re not sugars themselves.
