Question

I used to workout and weight lift before during and after pregnancy so while I'm 5'2" and 172lbs I don't really have as much fat as someone would imagine. My weight is more in muscle. I was told by a PC coordinator at 305 PS that I needed to lose weight because there's visceral fat in my stomach. A Miami PS told me I would be a perfect candidate. I just want to make sure I can get the results I desire

Hello, thank you for your question. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal for three months prior to the BBL. Based on your photos you can obtain nice contours from lipo/BBL.  This will depend upon your selection of surgeon and your expectations for the BBL. Fat can be harvested from the flanks, thighs, arms, back, etc. and transferred to the hips and buttocks.  I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear TopNotch_Bleu,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a BBL surgery, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery.
If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Even

Eating collagen will not change your candidacy for a BBL.
Losing 25lbs  first wouldn’t hurt.

Hello,
  
Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
Definitely the most appropriate is to start (tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL can also be included), you are a candidate perfect, for the procedure, with this you can eliminate all localized fat and flaccidity, you will get the best results and have a defined appearance according to your body. everything depends on your BMI, if it is within the normal range, above 35 it can generate risks.
  
It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a good evaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.
  
I hope this answer will help you
  
My best wishes for you...
