Why Women Are Gaining Weight To Go Under The Knife

For some bootylicious babes, gaining weight is a small price to pay for the perfect behind.

With the Brazilian butt lift increasing in popularity —  so are the pounds.

“You need to be at least 20 lbs above your body weight in order to have enough fat [if you don't already], pure fat to inject into the bottom. I typically ask that you gain the weight before surgery,” says Dr. Wilberto Cortes. “I recommend that you drink a lot of high-calorie shakes, it’s not the amount that you eat – just the amount of calories you ingest.”

O_o nuts! Most people gain weight the fastest in their gut, and belly fat isn't stable for bbl surgery. I would run away from any doctor that asks me to gain weight. It's just not healthy!
