I am 27 with weight 118 height 5’5, BMI 19.5. I am thin but I have scoliosis which gives my left latissimus dorsi on my back extra muscle and there is a pocket of extra fat there. Generally I am proportional not too apple or too pear, but I do have narrower hips that I want rounded out. I am planning on a BBL at some point. My question is what weight / BMI will yield me 1-2 L of fat? And should I wait til after my 1st baby in a couple yrs? &hope to gain preg weight? Or eat a bunch right now?
Answer: When should I book my BBL consult? Hello @EricaBb321, thank you for your question. When considering when to book a consultation for a BBL, it is when you are ready. Doctors' criteria vary from specialist to specialist. Taking on additional weight before a liposuction procedure would alter the results, so I don't recommend it for my patients. When you gain weight before a procedure what happens in the fat cell is that it enlarges, not that more fat cells are created inside the body. Here's a video regarding lipo after a baby, I hope it sheds some light on the matter. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: When should I book my BBL consult? Before or after pregnancy? Before or after gaining weight? Hi! Excellent questions. You would need to gain a little bit more weight if you want a full 2 L of fat for transfer. On your body type this will be dramatic. So, if your going for a very big butt or even a vixen look gaining weight is a good idea. I do believe though, that you don’t need 2 L of fat to achieve a big butt with very good results. I’m sure a BBL would turn about great on you as is.

Answer: How much fat grafts is needed for improvement of buttocks and hips Based on these photos, you do not need significant amount of fat grafts to improve your buttocks and hips; it is very likely that 1L of fat may be sufficient. However, only on the basis of in person consultation one experienced board certified plastic surgeon can give you more accurate suggestion. You need an expert! Hope this helps.
