Gaining weight before a buttock augmentation

Sometimes patients do need to gain weight prior to a fat transfer to the buttock (Brazilian buttock lift) in order to get a good outcome. If you are on the thinner side and do not want gluteal implants, weight gain may make you a better candidate for the procedure.
