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

Asked By:patpb in Independence, Kansas

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.
