Will Gaining Weight Help With Fat Transfer to the Butt?

I am 5'2" 28 yo I lost about 20 lbs over the last year I had a child in 2010 and 2011 I gained 14 pounds with each pregnancy and lot that plus more I am down to about 125. I am currently working on putting weight back on because I don't like to be this thin. I have a very flat butt and gaining weight and working out does not help me to gain size in my butt so I want to have a fat transfer. How much weight should I put on to be able to have enough fat harvested to get a nice full bubble butt.

Gaing weight before Butt lift

I dont recommend that you gain weight if you have a normal or above normal BMI. This is a ratio of height and weight. If you are underweight and very thin then yes you could gain weight. Normal weight patients or slightly above average weight patients do the best with fat transfer and fat retention and survival after transfer. The liposuction will sculpt your body, and the fat injections will fill the buttocks. If you gain weight after the fat transfer the buttocks will get... more

Gaining Weight will NOT Help With Fat Transfer to the Butt in Most Cases

The pattern of fat distrubution varies according to sex (it differs in men and women) and differs with various ethnicities. As you gain fat, much as you may want, it would not necessarily go where you want it to be deposited. The fat cell is a storage room which gets larger in volume when we eat calories we do not burn with exertion and excercise. The more we eat and do not burn, the more gets deposited in these cells. It makes NO sense to eat up and gain weigh for a fat transfer... more

Best BBL results will be at your baseline weight

I'm in agreement with the other opinions, that you should not change your diet or lifestyle to something that is not natural for you, just for the sake of trying to gain weight before your fat transfer to the buttocks ('Brazilian Butt Lift'). If you work to gain weight, eating more than you usually would, then you will almost certainly lose that weight after surgery and the additional volume in your buttocks will go with it. It's best to just stick with your regular diet... more

Should I gain weight before a BBL?

Great question with lots of different opinions out there. I believe that a woman gains and loses weight based on how their clothes fit them, I suggest to patients that need more fat for a transfer to put on 5-10 lbs before a transfer because we will harvest these "inflatted" cells and then transfer them to another part of the body thus acheiving the look and clothes fit that you want, and therefore you will maintain what was transferred by maintaining the same weight with a... more

Gaining weight prior to Brazilian butt lift

Gaining Weight prior to a Brazilian butt lift doesn't work. The reason why it doesn't work is because fat cells don't replicate. You're born with a certain number of fat cells and you keep the same number of fat cells throughout life. When you gain weight each cell gets bigger and when you lose weight each cell gets smaller, but you don't make more fat cells. So if you gain weight before surgery and you transfer the same number of fat cells that you would have if you didn't gain weight. So... more
