Would massaging my liposuctioned areas provide better results to avoid uneven or lumpy skin immediately following the procedure? I would avoid massages on the butt if advised too but my care taker is also a massage therapist and was wondering how I can take advantage of her during the 2 weeks she'll be with me. Please indicate if the massages should be in a circular motions or in 1 specific direction for better results?

This question of weight gain as it relates to BBL is fast becoming one of the most commonly posted questions in the RealSelf community. While it is true BBL is a weight sensitive procedure (in the sense that you need fat to achieve your result), it is never a good idea to pursue short term ...

There is no ideal BMI, but I look for one below 32.  You can realize significant results if you select a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction and BBL for thinner patients. Kenneth B. Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA
