I am 5’1 and currently 162 pounds. I was told by the doctor who is doing my surgery that I need to loose about 20 to 30 pounds in order to be a candidate for a BBL with abdominal etching. I want to make sure that I will have enough fat for a BBL once I loose the 20 to 30 pounds and I want to be a candidate for abdominal etching as well. If you need a lot of fat for a BBL and not a lot of fat for abdominal etching, How are these procedures able to be combined?

Answer: BBL with abdominal etching Thank you for your query. While we need a significant amount of fat for a BBL procedure, there is a limit to how much fat can be safely injected. Abdominal liposuction with etching may best be done after some weight loss to give you a narrow waist, defined abs and lower back. You may have enough fat, estimated by your surgeon, even after the weight loss, to achieve good contours and curves. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon who will be able to help you understand. All the best!

Answer: candidate for a BBL with abdominal etching Thanks so much for your inquire, The candidate should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. Generally, individuals with a BMI of 30 or lower are considered better candidates. Since a BBL involves transferring fat from one area of the body to the buttocks, candidates should have enough fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs to harvest for the augmentation. The most crucial step in determining candidacy is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in performing BBL procedures. During the consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and assess your overall health to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Sincerely, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol
