Fast metabolism does not determine candidacy for surgery.  Candidates for brazilian butt lift are at a stable weight before surgery and have adequate fat suitable for transfer to the buttock.  You would need a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate.

High Metabolism and Brazilian butt lift

Thanks for your question.  Yes a high metabolism can definitely affect the longevity of your Brazilian butt lift since the fat cells are live and respond to weight gain and wright loss.  I recommend considering butt implants as these are less likely to be affected by weight loss while maintaining good shape and projection.  Thanks!
