I posted a question a couple weeks ago asking if I'm a candidate for the bbl. I weight 113 and all the weight is in my stomach,flanks, & thighs. I hear that I shouldn't gain weight & just have the surgery because when yu gain weight the fat cells just get bigger. I really want to gain 10lbs 4 the surgery. I have pictures on my other ? that i posted. Thanks
Answer: Should I Gain Weight Before My Brazilian Butt Lift? The amount of fat needed depends on the shape and needs of each individual patient, however in general at least 500cc per buttock need to be placed to see a significant difference. On average patients typically receive around 800cc per buttock side for a total of 1600cc of fat transfer. However just like a breast augmentation the amount of fat needed various from patient to patients. Also the sculpting done with the liposuction is a big part of the procedure to improve the overall shape. However if a patient has a BMI of 22 they typically will have enough fat for the Brazilian butt lift. If they are smaller than this then they will need to consider doing an augmentation with implants. I typically tell patients that they should be at their ideal weight prior to their Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. I don’t want patients losing weight after the surgery as they can lose some of the fat that was transferred to their buttock. When considering this procedure it is very important that you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Answer: Gaining weight prior to a brazilian butt lift
Due to the fact that you weigh approximately 110 pounds, you will need to gain weight in order to be a good candidate for this procedure. Remember that, if you lose weight after surgery, your buttocks will get smaller but your proportions will still be the same. If you cannot gain the necessary weight, having butt implants is the other option that could be considered.

Answer: Weight gain prior to BBL
The question isn't as much should you gain weight prior to BBL, but what happens to the fat when you lose it after the surgery. This unanswered question has not really been look at in great detail so all you'll really hear are anecdotal reports from BBL surgeons. I agree with weight gain for the procedure, it will improve the contouring of the waist to hip ratio when you are ten pounds heavier and if you lose the weight the ratio will persist. I just saw someone in Dallas this week with similar dimensions. Typically, I'll examine the fat pad in the posterior upper buttock region over the lumbar spine (between the dimples on your lower back-upper buttock). If that fat pad there shows about 6cm of thickness then I think you can do a BBL successfully.
