Is it Okay to Lose Some Weight Before BBL?

I am planning on having a BBL in July of 2013. I want to lose about 35 pds before then. I'm 5'2" and 172 pds. I want to know if it would be unwise for me to add squats and lunges or other butt affecting exercises to my workouts. I ask this because I know these types of exercies will tighten the butt and therefore the skin. I want the max amount of fat possible transfered to my butt and I have heard of doctors not being able to achieve this because of skin being too tight. Thanks

It's true that if the skin envelope is tight it may limit the amount of fat that can be injected. However, exercise won't help or hurt that factor, it is something that is part of ones genes. hope this helps, Dr. Michael in Miami

Squats and butt excercises do not tighten the skin. If you loose the weight you may not have enough fat to transfer to the butt.
