Should I gain more weight to get a bigger BBL?

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to make a proper recommendation without a proper evaluation. I suggest you schedule a consult. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon

Thank you for your question. Gaining weight for a BBL is a frequent concept, but thoughtful planning is necessary. In BBL, your body's fat is extracted by liposuction, refined, and then injected into your buttocks. You need to have enough fat in your body and if your body fat % is excessively low, you should gain weight to increase the available fat amount. However, it does not ensure a certain outcome which necessitates talking to your surgeon about the size and form of your ideal hips. He will evaluate your general body shape, buttock projection, waist-to-hip ratio, and current body composition. He will also discuss your objectives and suggest the best management.

Dear kimmyp1997,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider surgery, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. 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.

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.-

The areas that you mention are enough for a nice BBL result. There is no need to gain weight before surgery. Photos would be useful in order to better advise.

The information you provided is insufficient to make any kind of assessment in regards to candidacy for a BBL procedure.
I generally do not recommend people gain weight for the purpose of having fat transfer procedures.I suggest patients have multiple in person, consultations with plastic surgeons in their community who seem to have a lot of experience with this procedure.
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics to your own.
An experience plastic certain should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients.
Continue having consultations until you feel quite comfortable. You found the right provider for your needs.
Mastering liposuction, and fat transfer is difficult and the number of providers , who can deliver consistent quality results is relatively small.
Best,
