Gaining Weight BEFORE or AFTER a Brazilian Butt Lift makes little sense

When we transfer fat from one area to another (with aBrazilian Butt Lift - to the buttocks), we are moving fat CELLS, the containers of the fat. The fat cells go up and down in size as the fat inside them goes up and down in size. As you gain weight, the amount of fat in your cells goes up. When you lose weight, the fat volume will go down.This applies to ALL the fat cells in your body. If you wish to gain weight before your BBL, you should consider remaining at this weight after the... more

Gaining weight before a present but left

Thank you for your question! This is a common scenario that many of my patients encounter. The Brazilian butt lift is a beautiful and effective way to create wonderful curves and a full round natural bottom. This is one of the few procedures of plastic surgery, where benefits the patient to be above their ideal weight before surgery. Although humans never grow more fat cells as adults, gaining weight can expand the existing fat cells and may make them easier to collect during the surgery... more

Should a gain weight before my BBL?

Judging from your height and weight it does not appear that you have to gain weight before the BBL.

To get the best results you should consultation with a Board Certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience with the BBL.

Gaining weight for a Brazilian Butt Lift

Hi there- Gaining weight before your Brazilian Butt Lift makes sense if there is a reasonable likelihood that by doing so, you will be able to achieve a shape and proportion that you are happy enough with that you will want to maintain it over time, or if your experienced BBL surgeon believes that by gaining weight, you are increasing the likelihood of success. While I cannot speak for other surgeons, in my own experience I have found, and believe, that by enlarging the available fat... more

Gaining weight prior to BBL

I highly recommend my patient to gain weight and to maintain weight at about 20-25 lbs above their ideal weight. This gives the surgeon enough fat to make a drastic change in one's body type. Definitely consult with your surgeon but that is my suggestion.
