I’ve been wanting a fat transfer for as long as I can remember now. I’m 21 I have a BMI of 19. I take medication once a week (methotrexate, folic acid) Also I am on birth control I want to know if I would be able to do this surgery and what can I do to avoid infections and complications? This surgery is a risk I am more than willing to take.

Hello, thank you for your question. As a bodybuilder myself, I would have to say I always recommend the exercise route to increase buttock size and shape. It takes time, and lot of hard work, but results are very attainable. BBL is a permanent change in distribution of where you gain and lose...
