24 Years old, 180 lbs. Getting BBL with fat transfer - how much weight do i need to lose?

Question

I want to lose weight but not too much because I still want a huge butt and a smaller waist. I have seen lots of pics of womens before and after and I don't see much of a difference. How much fat should I request to be transferred? 800cc 1100 cc? I want the most to be injected to it is noticeable. How much weight do I need to lose? Where else on my body do I need to try and loose weight? Or should I gain more weight to make sure my butt is huge because 30% of the fat will go away over time?

Without seeing photos or evaluating you in person, it is difficult to answer your questions. You should be close to your goal weight before undergoing this procedure, but it may not be necessary for you to lose a significant amount of weight prior to a BBL. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and performs at least 6-8 per week.

The key here is to find a surgeon who will liposuction the maximum of 5 liters and transfer the maximum that your body can accept.  The price and quality of result will vary tremendously.   Find
 a BBL expert who
 performs hundreds of BBLs each year and has great reviews and great 
before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. 
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

It is typically recommended to get as close to your goal weight as possible before undergoing a BBL. To determine a specific goal, consult a board-certified plastic surgeon who can discuss what works best for you in person after an evaluation.
