Gaining Weight After Brazilian Butt Lift?

I would like to have the BBL to change the way my body deposits fat. Currently, my body deposits fat proportionately but I want it to deposit fat primarily in my hips. After the BBL, I will do a weight gain diet to further enhance my new shape. However, I am hearing stories of patients who had lipo and after gaining weight, they say their bodies became deformed, etc. because of where their bodies now gained fat. My goal is to "grow" a bigger butt/hips thanks to the aid of BBL. Is this possible?

The beauty of a Brazilian butt lift surgery is that the results are 100% you. Like the rest of the fat tissue in your body, the... more

Growing your Brazilian Butt lift

I have had one patient gain weight after a BBL with subsequent growth of th buttock to her satisfaction. However, most patients remain at a stable weight. If you are contemplating this, you may wnat to select donor sites that are sensitive to weight gain. However there are places such as your face, neck, etc that may also increase with undesireable resutls.

If the procedure gives you a beautiful shape, then be happy with it and maintain it. The goal with Liposuction is to make your figure more proportionate. As long as this is achieved, then weight gain will h more
