Brazilian Butt Lift: Q&A
Ask a QuestionAdvice Before Surgery?
I'm 5'1" and weigh 160lbs. I am really considering a bbl to shape my butt. I also want to loose at least 30 lbs but I'm not sure if it is best to loose them before or after the surgery. I don't want my future weight loss to affect my results but I also want to have enough fat to get great results. I guess my question is how much do I need to weigh in order to get the best results based on my height and still have some room to loose weight and look great after.

Should I get to my goal weight before or after fat grafting?
The issue with the Brazilian Butt Lift is fat stores. It is impossible to judge how much fat you have without seeing you. 2 people the exact same height and weight can have different amounts of harvestable fat on their bodies. In general, I think my patients that have surgery when they are 10-15 lbs over their goal weight have the best results - in fact, many of them opt not to lose any more weight after the surgery because they are pleased with the reshaping! I think your...

Advice about your weight before BBL surgery
I really wnat to give you a great answer, but it is impossible to give you specific advice without seeing your body type and shape. I personally don't think that weight loss after surgery will affect your results, but this is based on my own experience with my own technique. It really depends on how the BBL is performed and exactly what fat is taken as donor fat. You need to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who does several BBLs per week. They will be able to give you an...

Aim For Your Stable Weight Before Brazilian Butt Lift
Tough question to answer without photos of your buttocks, current weight, average weight and weight loss goal. You should shoot for your stable average weight before any body contouring procedure including the Brazilian Butt Lift in order to get the best results. Agressive dieting that cannot be maintained is not realistic, sustainable, or healthy. You will need a minimum of 400-500 ml per side to have a significant effect. This means that you will need approximately...

Before any weight loss consult with the Plastic Surgeon of your choice
Many patients seeking to augment their buttocks via Fat Transfer are disappointed to learn that they have inadequate donor fat to provide a good result. Some of these patients actually opt for gaining weight to undergo the procedure.

Only then will you know whether it is best to pursue your weight loss goals first or to...

Weight loss timing depends on buttock goal
Hello,
Thank you for the question. This is a difficult question to answer since it depends on what goal your are trying to achieve with your BBL and how much fat you have available. If you have ample fat available to achieve what you would like then losing the weight before would be ideal.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta
