Brazilian Butt Lift: Q&A

To Gain or Not to Gain for BBL?

Some doctors have said to gain weight while others have said to get down to my ideal weight first for BBL. I don't understand the difference. If you gain weight for the surgery and then lose a bunch of weight afterwards wouldn't it just be the same as if you had just stayed your normal weight to begin with and vice versa if you were to gain weight later? By gaining aren't you just plumping up the same fat cells anyways? It's not like your making more of them by gaining weight, right??

Let Your Face Tell You To Gain Or Lose Weight

In my opinion it doesn't make much sense to gain more than a few extra pounds before "BBL" unless you intend to keep that weight after surgery. All of the successfully transferred BBLfat is living fat and will fluctuate with weight gain and loss pretty much like it did before transfer. If your pre-surgical weight gain is temporary then you will literally "lose your ass" as you return to your prior weight. A few pounds is probably unimportant, but 5 or 6 probably... more

Brazilian Buttock Lift

Brazilian Buttock Lift is more about body contouring especially the area around the buttock and lower back areas. Depending on how much fat you have and contouring the areas around the buttock will determine how much buttock enlargement and projection you will get. If you want much enlargenent and projection then you will need a lot of fat as well.

Would continue to eat healthy and avoid weightv gain

It's important for you to eat healthy. Eating to gain weight for a buttock augmenataion would have side effects. The fat will not only deposit in tissues, but also in unwanted areas. It would cause cardiovascular side effects and long term health problems.
