How Much Weight Should I Gain in Preparation For a Lipo 360 BBL? (Photo)

Question

Early next year, I'm planning to get a Lipo 360 BBL (+ rib remodeling) with a focus on a fat transfer to my hips. I'm 5' 8.5, around 135lbs, and I think around 19% body fat last I checked. I currently have an inverted triangle build I hate, and I'm trying to achieve a soft hourglass figure. I would say that each of my shoulders is between 1in and 1.5in longer than my hips and, if it matters, I'm 27.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your concerns, it is difficult to make an accurate assessment as this photo is not suitable for proper evaluation. In general, for Lipo 360 with a BBL, it is best to maintain a stable weight with sufficient fat for transfer, rather than gaining excessive weight.
A detailed evaluation can confirm the best approach for your goals.
I hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for the question, from the photo that you send i can not tell you if you qualify based on you fat for a BBL, but from your high and weight i can say that you can have these procedures done.

To determine your candidacy for any cosmetic surgery procedure we need to see appropriate pictures.
Please take a note of how plastic surgeon take before and after pictures for the BBL procedure to get an idea of what we’re looking for.
Each person will have a unique fat distribution, which will highly impact their candidacy for liposuction and or fat transfer.
 Wait, height, BMI or percentage body fat is not really all that helpful with that seeing it in context.
I absolutely do not recommend people gain weight for the purpose of having fat transfer procedures unless they are underweight to start with.
I also highly recommend having multiple in person consultations with plastic surgeons in your community who seems to have expertise with a fat transfer and Liposuction.
 Provider selection and patient can see are the two variables to determine outcomes spread.
You can’t really change your candidacy for the procedure, but you do have control of a provider selection so focus your efforts on that.
Best,
