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.
I have no knowledge of Brazilian Butt Lifts specifically, but here is some related information about how fat works in general, which I hope is a good starting point:
Fat cells don’t die easily. They just shrink. See: https://news.yale.edu/2015/03/02/study-new-fat-cells-are-created-quickly-dieting-cant-eliminate-them
When performing skin grafts, fat cells retain the characteristics of the original skin location. For example, here is a paper that shows a soldier who had a skin graft from his stomach to his hand, and later developed a kind of “beer gut” on his hand.

That’s fascinating, thanks for the information.
I suppose a hand doesn’t naturally have much fat in it, so using fat to bulk it out can have odd side effects.
This will be a good read. Thanks for sharing.
I really should do some work now but I’ll read those later.
