I am unaware of any medical studies reporting that Maca enlarges the buttocks. They may help you gain weight, but I rarely recommend gaining weight prior to a BBL. Gaining weight is often counterproductive. If you gain weight that is fat, some of the fat will likely be associated with the buttocks. Recommend that you schedule a virtual (it's typically free) or in-office consultation (fee usually applies to surgery fee) with a board certified plastic surgeon in your geographical location who can examine your anatomy and recommend the procedures which would provide the ultimate goals you are seeking for your buttocks.
It is advisable to not take any herbal or other supplement a week before a BBL and one week after. See a board-certified plastic surgeon who does a ton of Brazilian butt lifts and operates at a certified facility, and you will be in good hands. Ask that surgeon; how many Brazilian butt lift did you do last year doctor? Do not settle for vegue answers.
The maca root, from what I have read, is a plant native to Peru. It is dried into powder and is available in powdered form or in capsules or as liquid extract. Its purported effects include increased libido, increased fertility, and mood / memory elevator. The drug is known to interfere with normal thyroid function and for this reason, thyroid function studies are recommended before any elective surgical procedure. Otherwise there does not appear to be any contraindication to performance of BBL.Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes...
the number one concern of a full body high definition liposuction body contouring with Vaser and optimized transfer of fat to the buttocks (BBL) is that your blood is not thin so that you can avoid unnecessary bleeding. You blood clotting ability will be checked with a lab test. In general, Maca root does not thin your blood and in fact counters blood thinning. As such, you can have your BBL even if you are on blood thinners.If you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool ban be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or Facetime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACSRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
