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? 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. Do not stress about gaining as much weight as possible before a BBL. Because gaining some weight after the BBL will also improve results. Your transferred fat will behave the same as before. Meaning, your stubborn belly fat and love handles will now be in your butt. You will eventually gain wight in the transferred areas more so then in the lipoed areas. This will happen throughout your entire lifetime. Waiting before or after your pregnancy is a personal decision. That said, if you want your BBL now and you don’t have a set date for your fist baby then you can go ahead and have it done now. Sometimes body types change after pregnancy, so a BBL is not always enough. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota
