Losing weight before BBL: Is it advisable?

That's a very good
question and it is asked often. For large surgeries like liposuction and fat
grafting, it is important that you begin your surgery in the best health
possible. Dieting prior to surgery reduces your nutritional reserves which can
lengthen your recovery and sometimes make the recovery more risky. Secondly, you
should find a surgeon who does these procedures often. Generally there is a
learning curve with buttock fat grafting. Surgeons are apprehensive at first, grafting
only 300-400mL per side, but after some experience, surgeons are comfortable
grafting larger volumes of 600-1000mL per side. Dieting after surgery should
not decrease the survival rate of the fat graft. However, as you lose weight
the volume of the fat graft will also decrease. The good news is that if the
fat is removed from an area that is resistant to weight-loss like the hips or
outer thighs, it will still be the same stubborn fat that is resistance to
weight loss, but now it is in a more desirable place, the buttocks.
