5'5 185lbs. Should I lose any weight for lipo360/BBL? I want hips, round butt, small waist (Photo)

Your BMI is a little over 30, which is in the good range for a BBL. If you want to lose any weight, do it before, rather than after, you have the lipo and BBL. The lipo 360 should harvest the fat from your abdomen, sides, and lower back so that you achieve a smaller waist and curvier contours.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for BBL and do not need to lose any weight before the procedure. Based on the photos, you should not develop excess/loose skin after surgery. I hope this helps.

Hello @kittyxcatt thank you for your question y showing your pictures. No, it is not necessary to loose weight before surgery, you just need to take care of your diet and to make sure that the previous exams are as good as possible. Improving your eating habits will also benefit long-term preservation of your results. When a 360° Lipo is performed total body harmony can be achieved. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

Based on the pictures you appear to be good candidate for Intense liposuction and Brazilian butt lift. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,

Dear kittyxcatt,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Why not ask your chosen non USA doctor!??? Since he is doing your surgery. Please be careful since you are going to 3rd world country. Good Luck.

You appear to be a very good candidate for the liposuction and BBL procedures. I don’t feel you need to lose weight and certainly have more than enough fat for the BBL procedure. I cannot comment on your abdominal skin without a physical exam
Best wishes

The secret to a successful high definition BBL is to make sure that you are at your COMFORT weight. This is the most stable weight you can hold for your entire life. Looking at your photos, it seems that you should consider a modified abdominal skin resection. this is a procedure that we created to address skin redundancy over the abdomen that allows for simultaneous liposuction to get your ab muscles to show and to provide you waistline snatching.
Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

To get an accurate assessment and better understanding of treatment options I suggest scheduling multiple in person consultations for the local board-certified plastic surgeons in your community.
