2nd Brazilian Butt Lift - how can I gain weight for this procedure?

Question

I gained 20 pounds after the first BBL But my surgeon denied me for a second BBL because he said I do not have enough subcutaneous fat to do liposuction again I would need to gain more weight and I may not gain it in my abdomen What is the best solution for this? Because my waist line has gained weight and I hate it

Thank-you for your query! It is difficult to give you an opinion without seeing your photographs. It is, however, not  a great idea to gain too much weight before a BBl procedure.. While some weight gain may make surgery easier and also improve the results, you will have to keep up this weight gain, which may not be easy. Excessive weight gain may also have an adverse effect on the other contours of your body. Please discuss your concerns with your Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you get further improvement in your BBL. All the best!

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Beware, if a surgeon asks you to purposely gain weight (i.e. fat) before BBL, know that the fat you lose first as you get back to your baseline weight after surgery is that very same fat that was transferred into your buttock, hence your new buttock shrinks first, the fastest, and the most...so please do not fall victim to this recommendation. Even those patients that had adequate amounts of fat pre-operatively, still end up seeking buttock implants after a year or so because most of the fat transferred melted away leaving them with minimal result.  Fillers such as Sculptra are cost prohibitive, provided enough volume is injected (i.e. at least 400 cc of active ingredient costing over $300,000) and last only 12 - 18 months.  So, if you're looking for a reliable, predictable, and long-term permanent option that also provides projection in the central buttock, buttock and hip implants are your solution. Please note that an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock or hip implants, so you may need to travel far and away from home to find this particular surgeon.  I hope this is useful information for everyone. Glad to help.

Dear Symphani
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
