Hello, I am having a BBL on May 24th, I am 5'6" and weigh 163 lbs. I normally like to be around 150 to 155lbs but am worried there wont be enough fat for harvesting. Would it be okay for me to lose 10 to 15 lbs before the surgery?
Answer: Best weight for Brazilian Butt Lift............
When considering the Brazilian Butt Lift, it is always best to be "close" to your ideal body weight, but not so close that you don't have enough fat to be removed and transferred to your buttocks. At 5'6'', "Ideal" body weight is 130 lbs. That may not be the weight where you are happiest with your figure, so 150 may also be reasonable if that is where you feel most comfortable. At 150, you will most likely still have enough excess fat around your waist line and possibly your thighs to provide significant filling of your buttocks and a beautiful shape to your waistline. What you don't want to do is lose weight after this surgery or your buttocks will most likely shrink also. I find patients get the best result when they are a minimum of at least 10-20 lbs above their ideal weight, but not more than 50 lbs over.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Should I Lose Weight Before Brazilian Butt Lift? Hello dear! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, hips, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape. In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know. Good luck :)

Answer: Pre-Surgery Weight: BBL The ideal pre-operative weight for Brazilian butt lift surgery varies from patient to patient and depends upon a large number of variables. These variables include the patient’s anatomic findings and their aesthetic goals.In the vast majority of patients dieting should be delayed until the patient has undergone Brazilian butt lift surgery. This approach has significant benefits for most patients. In many cases this approach assures adequate fat donor sites which might not be available following weight loss. Furthermore, most surgeons prefer that patients have stable weight for at least six months before proceeding with surgery.In addition, when liposuction is performed to harvest fat, significant contour improvement is noted in the surrounding areas. This may address many of the patients’ body image concerns.For these reasons, patients should consult a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing the Brazilian butt lift. This surgeon should be able to make an appropriate weight loss recommendation.

Answer: What Weight Should I be Before my Brazilian Butt Lift? Brazilian butt lift (fat transfer to the buttock) is so popular because it enables your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. Liposuction is performed over several areas depending on the individual patient needs, but typically of the flanks, abdomen, back and thighs. You currently have a very square shape (which is more common than most people realize). The liposculpting will allow your surgeon to bring in your hips and waist giving you more of an hour glass figure. You already have some shape to your buttock and this will be able to be enhanced to give you a very attractive buttock. The amount of fat needed depends on the shape and needs of each individual patient, however in general at least 500cc per buttock need to be placed to see a significant difference. On average patients typically receive around 800cc per buttock side for a total of 1600cc of fat transfer. However just like a breast augmentation the amount of fat needed various from patient to patients. Also the sculpting done with the liposuction is a big part of the procedure to improve the overall shape. Ideally you want to be at your normal weight prior to surgery so that your surgeon knows what they have to work with for your augmentation. If you gain weight for the procedure and then lose it after the augmentation you could lose some of the fat that is transferred. The process of the Brazilian Butt lift is not only to add volume to the buttock, but to transform the entire shape of the patient from a square appearance to more of an hour glass shape. It is about giving a patient a figure that she will look great in close or a bikini (for the patients here in Miami). The goal is not to just try and make the biggest butt possible. It is giving the patient a shape they will love for years to come! When considering this procedure it is very important that you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.
