Hello I have a Brazilian butt lift in two weeks and have accidentally lost weight. Is it worth trying to put on weight with two weeks to go or is it too late ? I am average BMI When do I stop trying to put on weight - as in how long after you eat does the body turn it to fat ? Also should I be taking any vitamins now to help my skin heal when I have the surgery? Thank you for your time

Answer: I lost weight, is it worth trying to put it back on for BBL? Hello @ChasingFOY, thank you for your question. You don't need to gain more weight to have a BBL or gluteal lipoinjection. In fact, gaining more weight would alter the results. In BBL, fat from other areas of the body is transferred to the buttocks, so if you gain weight before the procedure it won't be as effective as when you are your normal weight. As for your last question the supplements or vitamins you need to take are the ones prescribed by your specialist. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Gaining weight for surgery is a bad idea Thanks so much for reaching out. I think that gaining weight for your surgery is a bad idea. Unless you are under weight or malnourished. Are you going to surgery at an even wait not in the mist of a rapid weight loss or a rapid weight game. Your body needs to be in a stable position to heal its best
