Should You Lose Weight Before a Fat Grafting Procedure?

Hi there-

It would be very difficult to answer your question without examining you...

It is possible that you are already a good candidate for a BBL- but it is possible that I would tell you that some weight loss is necessary first. How much? Again, an exam is necessary.

Your best bet is to meet with a surgeon experienced and skilled in the procedure for a consultation and examination, as the answers to these questions depend so heavily on your goals for your final appearance and on your examination. They will be able to guide you as far as whether or not weight loss would help you achieve your long term goals, and as to how much, as well as the timing of the procedure after the weight loss.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You should be close to your goal weight, before surgery, to get the best result possible. Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. 
To be a good candidate for plastic surgery, 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 30 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 :)

Your question is hard to answer without a photo.  As you know, two women the exact same weight can have different amounts of fat on their bodies.  In general, I think fat grafting is most successful on women who are about 10-15 pounds over their goal weight.  This usually provides me with enough fat to work with.  I would suggest scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon now.  After seeing you, he or she will be able to guide you more specifically about weight loss.
