Should I lose weight for a BBL surgery ?

Dear bmora704,

Body contouring, especially a procedure as transformative as the BBL with Lipo 360, is a personalized journey. The key is to approach the surgery at a weight where you feel comfortable and, more importantly, can maintain long-term.

Given your stats, you currently have a BMI of 26.5, slightly into the overweight category. Considering the longevity and stability of your results, it's crucial to undergo the procedure at a weight that you can maintain post-surgery. Why is this important? Weight fluctuations after a BBL can affect the appearance and longevity of your results.

Here's what I'd recommend:

1. Evaluate Your Comfort Level: If you believe that your current weight of 150 lbs is something you can comfortably maintain long-term, you might consider staying around this weight for your surgery. Remember, with the BBL and Lipo 360, you'll likely lose approximately 5 pounds due to fat removal.

2. Consider Weight Stability: If you feel that you might drop back to your earlier weight range (115 to 120 lbs) post-surgery, it would be wise to approach the surgery closer to that weight. This ensures that your results remain consistent even if you lose some weight post-surgery.

3. Discuss with Your Surgeon: Consult your plastic surgeon about your weight concerns. They will be able to guide you based on your body type, the amount of fat needed for grafting to achieve your desired results, and overall health considerations.

Ultimately, the goal is to have stable and lasting results, so ensure you're at a weight where you feel most confident and can maintain post-surgery. Your journey to enhancing your hips and adding projection to your buttocks should reflect your best and most sustainable self!
