If you are convinced you want BBL, instead of buttock implants, then do not lose any weight prior to surgery because you will need every ounce of fat to transfer to your buttocks region. Allow me to share with you some information that you may not hear elsewhere. There are only...
The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into.
