How Do Fat Cells Effect the Amount of Lipo for a BBL? Also Why Drains? (photo)

I'm 33, 5'4", 126lbs, BMI 22%. I'm confused on the amount of fat needed for me. Some doctors say I need to gain weight (12-30lbs) while other Dr.s say the amount of fat I have is enough to achieve the look I want. Why do some doctors bible thump weight gain, while others profess it's a misconception because fat cells don't change. What's going on technically w/fat cells? Why should patients get drains, again each Dr. has conflicting answers? Pros and Cons? Thank you for your precious time.

This type of weight gain is the most common, and certainly would be how you would store excess fat. The hyperplasia situation is unique to very, very big people such as Sumo wrestlers who actually increase the number of fat... more

Gaining Weight For #BrazilianButtLift

Gaining weight for a Brazilian Butt Lift is a complete misconception, unless you are going to stay at that new weight. When you gain weight, you gain it in multiple locations. If you are heavier in your face for example, it is unlikely that you will keep the weight on if you are unhappy with your fuller face (or hips or abdomen etc). Thus, fat is fat, and if there is more to transfer through gaining weight, that will only be beneficial if you stay at that weight. If you go back to your... more
