Does Weight Matter for Brazilian Buttlift?

Best weight for Brazilian Butt Lift

It is hard to accurately answer your question without seeing you. Your measurements indicate you are slim, but I can't assess how much fat you have. It is fat stores that matter for the Brazilian Butt Lift. I have had success with slim patients in my practice. I sometimes recommend weight gain prior to surgery, but not always.

5'4" 110 lbs and Candidate for Brazilian Buttlift

At 5'4" 110 lbs, getting a large augmentation is probably not realistic, but I have performed 600 cc transfers to each buttock in women your size. The key to the question is where you have fat and whether that fat is amenable to liposuction. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

BBL for petite women

I don't recommend weight gain in preparation for surgery. You would need a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for BBL. If you have an inadequate amount of fat, you might be a candidate for gluteal implants.

I don't recommend gaining weight before a Brazilian Butt Lift

I generally do not recommend that patients gain weight before BBL surgery. This may lead to an increased amount of fat loss after the procedure. Even in very skinny patients, I am usually able to find good "hidden" fat.

Would not necessarily

Would not necessarily the weight but the Body fat percentage of the areas where you will have Liposuction is very important. I recommend you have a consultation with a plastic surgeon who will assess whether you are a candidate.
