Is It Good to Gain Weight Before a BBL?

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I don't recommend gaining weight for a BBL. With a 26 BMI, you are a good candidate for plastic surgery.
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 :)

Thank you for your question! This is a common scenario that many of my patients encounter. The Brazilian butt lift is a beautiful and effective way to create wonderful curves and a full round natural bottom. This is one of the few procedures of plastic surgery, where benefits the patient to be above their ideal weight before surgery.

Although humans never grow more fat cells as adults, gaining weight can expand the existing fat cells and may make them easier to collect during the surgery.

To get a beautiful result, your best bet is to work with a plastic surgeon that is board-certified by the American Board of plastic surgery and has extensive experience in the Brazilian butt lift, body contouring, and fat grafting. I think that is it is vital to assess every patient individually to not only see their candidates but to get a deep understanding of their goals. I assess every patient multiple times before their surgery and sit down with them to understand the shape and size that they want to achieve. There are many occasions when I do recommend that the patient gain anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds before the surgery so that their goals may be accomplished.
