Losing Weight Before Getting a Brazilian Butt Lift?

If you want to get buttock augmentation with fat grafting then you should definitely do not lose any weight. Even if you are heavy, I can liposuction all you excess fat. but it is better to have too much fat, rathter than too little if you want to use it for fat injection to your buttock.

You should be no more than 10% above your ideal body weight.  Future weight loss after surgery will effect your results. 

  This is one occasion where I do not encourage my patients to lose weight before their surgery. In a Brazilian Butt lift you will receive federal liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, hips, lower back, and waist. The more fat you have in these areas, the more we have to work with and the more we can use to contour and shape your beautiful new butt. After the surgery you will need to wear a special compressive garment that will apply pressure to the areas that have been treated... more

This is one of the very few times where weight loss before surgery might not be the best course of action. Of course Every case should be analyzed individualy. If you have a high BMI (30 or above), it is wise to lose some of that weight. On the other hand ,you need some fat to be able to us it for infiltration. As a rule of thumb ,one third of the lipoaspirate is used for fat grafting. The remaining two thirds are lost in the filtration process. Hope that helps!

Hi there- Provided you are a good overall candidate for surgery- meaning that your excess weight is not going to increase the risks to your health, the more fat available, the better! As long as the above is true, I would defer further weight loss until after the procedure. The redistribution will give you the shape you desire, which should be maintained with weight loss afterwords.

Sheila, Nothing about your question is ez.  Without examining you, it is impossible to give you a good answer.  Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will provide you with a better idea about what your weight loss goals should be.  Good luck!
