I am looking to have a BBL in June/July 2014. I am currently a size 14 (UK) which is a US 10. My ideal size which I would like to be is a UK 10-12 which is USA size 6 to 8, especially when I have had my BBL. I need to lose weight to be the size I want to be; however I am aware that before a BBL one needs to gain. I am worried that if I maintain the size I have now - when I try and lose the weight after my BBL I might compromise the grafted fat. please advise .
