I am 5'2" 28 yo I lost about 20 lbs over the last year I had a child in 2010 and 2011 I gained 14 pounds with each pregnancy and lot that plus more I am down to about 125. I am currently working on putting weight back on because I don't like to be this thin. I have a very flat butt and gaining weight and working out does not help me to gain size in my butt so I want to have a fat transfer. How much weight should I put on to be able to have enough fat harvested to get a nice full bubble butt.
Answer: Should I Gain Weight Before My Brazilian Butt Lift? This is a very common question as some women do not have enough fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift. However some patients are surprised that they have enough fat when evaluated by an experienced plastic surgeon that performs a high volume of fat transfer procedures. Patients that have a BMI over 22 and have never had liposuction before have a good possibility of being able to have a Brazilian Butt Lift. They will need a liposuction in multiple areas such as the flanks, back abdomen and inner thighs. However this liposuction in multiple areas will allow your surgeon to shape your entire body. I tell patients who are thin or borderline that I am always cautious about having them gain weight because if they lose weight after the fat transfer procedure they will lose some of the fat that is transferred during the Brazilian Butt Lift. If you are too thin for a Brazilian Butt Lift there are other options such as butt implants or a combination of butt implants and fat transfer. The combination is great for shaping the waist and giving patients the projection and shape that they desire. Please consult with your board certified plastic surgeon that performs a high volume of butt augmentation procedures.

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 BBL? Thank you for your question! It is hard to tell exactly without a physical examination of your body how much weight you will need to gain. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who preforms these regularly and have a consultation. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicagoHoffman EstatesOak Brook

Answer: Will Gaining Weight Help With Fat Transfer to the Butt? It is difficult to evaluate your candidacy for BBL and make recommendations with no photos posted. I would recommend a virtual or an in person consultation for proper evaluation and treatment options. Gaining weight can help with the fat transfer but it is important to remember that fat that has been introduced to the buttocks will act in unison with the rest of the fat in a patient's body and should respond proportionally to any fluctuations in weight that can result from diet and/or exercise. Seek a board certified plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
