I'm afraid at 190 I wont have enough fat to get all my areas done like I want (stomach, flanks, pubic, upper and lower back)

Brazilian butt lift and preop weight loss

I always ask my patients to eat and exercise before surgery the way they plan to after surgery. This way I can get a stable result that won't change after surgery. The worst patient who starves and exercises at a rate they cannot maintain, has her surgery, has a good result and then gains a lot of weight after surgery and does not look as good as she could. Exercising and losing weight the right way prior to surgery is always good because it will improve your lung capacity and your... more

Thoughts on Brazilian Butt Lift

Hi there- I think for optimal results you should lose a bit of weight. MY larger concern, however, is caused by the photos you posted of your goal- It is very important for you to understand that the women in these photos probably have buttock implants (less ideal than your own fat), and the photos have undoubtedly been "photo-shopped" to exaggerate the woman's curves and the smoothness of her skin.

Brazilian butt lift

You are a good candidate. you would want to lose weight if you wanted your waist to be small like it is in the photos. but, if your goal is a butt as big as the one you posted...losing weight is not needed. it's your call; do you want to be tiny above, or big bellow? you cant have it both ways. expectations are key. consult a local board certified plastic surgeon who does lots of these. and please note that all surgeries carry risks. i wish you luck.

Buttock enhancement

To atchieve the shape like the pictures you posted, you need to loose quiet a bit of weight first. You seem to have a lot of fat inside the abdomen. That fat causes the abdomen to look full and bulges. (not as flat as the picture you posted) you have lots of fat in the flanks, thighs and back. once you are at your ideal body weight, you can have the surgery. That is how you can get the best results possible. You may need thigh lift, liposuction flanks back and may need a circumferential... more

Weight Loss Before Surgery?

Thank you for the question and pictures. I think you were given good advice during your consultation. In order to achieve and maintain the best results possible it is best to be as close as possible to your long-term stable weight before surgery. Your concerns regarding “having enough fat” are not necessary- you're more likely to achieve the best results possible if you can demonstrate to your surgeon what adipose tissue is truly diet and exercise... more
