Should I lose weight before a BBL? (photos)

This is a very good questions. "Ideal weight" means: 1- a healthy weight (BMI 20-25) 2- a weight that you're comfortable maintaining with your current lifestyle. i.e you.re not planning on losing or gaining weight for any reason.
You current BMI and body frame/shape is ideal for BBL. But if you don't like your current weight for any reason, (for example you feel too heavy on arms, shoulder, face which would not be corrected with BBL), and you want to lose some weight, you can do so and have the surgery when you achieve your target weight.

What is your BMI. Based on your pics, I do not feel too strongly that you need to loose weight prior to the Surgery. In fact, having some fat tissue for liposuction is desirable for BBL

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear Pd2021, Thank you for your question. If you’re getting a BBL we will definitely need to take fat from your body and a liposuction will be needed. However you need to have fat for. You can’t get BBL without liposuction. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear Pd2021,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
You should be as close to your goal weight as possible, before surgery, for best results. In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

I think you’ll be fine either way. By far the most important decision is choosing the most qualified provider and having a very clear understanding of what you’re trying to achieve.

The outcomes of these procedures vary substantially among providers.

Your second picture makes you look bottom heavy. Perhaps it’s the angle and distance from which the photo was taken but make sure that you’re good with your waist becoming smaller in your bottom getting bigger which is the primary outcome of the procedure.

I recommend multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with the procedure.

Ask each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures for the BBL procedure. Make sure all after pictures we’re taking at least three months from the time of surgery. Avoid providers with any significant number of justified negative reviews and various physician review websites.

Best,
