Should I lose weight before BBL and fat transfer due to visceral fat? (photo)

Dear Sensible919675,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a BBL surgery, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery.If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

The protruding appearance of your abdomen is because you have visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, saggy skin and loose muscle.
So you must lose the weight to reduce visceral fat and after that automatically your abdominal subcutaneous fat will reduce, but liposuction will not improve the saggy skin and either the loose muscle.
The flanks are thick and saggy as well do after deflation (losing weight and liposuction) those will only be one saggier.
So, you are in reality a great candidate for an extended or Circumferential (360) Tummy Tuck, thigh muscle repair and done liposuction in order to achieve a small waist and nice and tight abdomen and flanks. Liposuction will only leave you with saggier skin and loose muscle.
Be encouraged !!!

Hello, thank you for your question. In my practice I look for a BMI approximating 30 to lessen the risks of complications during and after surgery and to enhance the results of the procedures. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal for three months prior to the BBL. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced with liposuction to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and facial integrity has remained the same. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You should be as close to your goal weight as possible, before surgery, for best results. 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 :)

Hello, thanks for your question:I definitely recommend that you lose as much weight as possible, this will ensure a much better result and most importantly, a safer surgery. It is not wise to determine the type of surgery you need before you lose the weight. The ideal is that once you have reached your goal (BMI of less than 30 at least), you are consulted again to determine if skin will be in a good condition to handle liposuction or if you need a skin resection and tightening surgery. However, at least in the abdomen, you are already a candidate for a tummy tuck. Hope this helps

Hello. Obviously you are not candidate only for Liposculpture and Brazilian But Lift, but also for a much needed Full Tummy Tuck. Once someone performs lipo under your skin without tightening the abdominal muscles and removing the excessive skin and fat from your abdomen (Tummy Tuck), your results will be very bad, think of a balloon without the air inside (that's the way your abdomen will look. You may see some of my cases in the video below.

It’s your current level of obesity you are not an ideal candidate for cosmetic surgery including the BBL’s . I suggest losing weight before considering surgery.

Your love handles can be brought down significantly with well done Liposuction.

At your current weight I’m not sure one single 5 L little section session may get you the results you need.

Best,
