I'm 31 years old and would like to get a Brazilian Butt Lift. I stand 5'4 and weigh 185 pounds. Am I a good candidate for BBL or do I need to lose weight first to get a "snatched" look (small waist, big buttocks)? Also, when doctors "harvest" fat from the abdomen for BBL, do they remove as much fat as they can (to significantly reduce the size of the belly) or do they just remove whatever they'll need to inject into my buttocks? Thank you.

Answer: Weight Loss Hello! Thank you for your question. Based on your photos and BMI I recommend weight loss before considering surgery and consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon. Decreasing your weight will enhance your aesthetic over all result and decreases potential risks and complications.

Answer: 5'4, weigh 185lbs. Should I lose weight before BBL? Do doctors remove all fat from my abdomen or just enough to use for the butt Ideal candidates for liposuction are at or near their ideal weight (your calculated BMI is 31.8; losing 10 pounds or more will enhance results and decrease the risks of complications during and after surgery) and will have good skin elasticity. Liposuction breaks down and removes the fat that lies just underneath the skin. It’s usually performed on areas that are notoriously resistant to diet and exercise such as the back of the upper arms, the outer thighs, the chin, the bra rolls, lower abdomen, and the flanks. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same.
