5’3, 115llbs, should I gain weight for a BBL? (Photos)

Question

I have had a couple of consultations for a bbl. Some surgeons say I should gain 20 pounds or so and some say I have enough fat. Should I gain more weight to get the look I want ?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It would be beneficial for you to gain some weight for the procedure. The amount of weight gain required will depend on how much volume and projection you want in your buttocks. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, I would recommend gaining weight for a BBL. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. So, you would need enough fat in these are for transfer to the buttocks. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear Peaceful828964,
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.

For sure gain some weight at least 10 pounds+++. The more fat to transfer the better the results in a "Skinny BBL". Expect fees in the $7,500 ranges.
