Right now I weight 180 but I plan on going to the military a year later. I need to be 155 to get in. But I would need all my fat to get best results. What should I do? Keep or lose the weight. My main concern is if I keep it, will I lose by new booty? Or if I lose it my results wouldn't be as good
Answer: Should I lose weight before I get my bbl? The key to the best result with this surgery is to have a stable weight at the time of the surgery and after the surgery. In this manner, the surgeon is best able to sculpt the ideal form and you have a greater chance for a superior long-term result.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Should I lose weight before I get my bbl? I appreciate your question. Best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 3 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Should I lose weight before I get my bbl? Hello dear! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 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 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 :)

Answer: Phyiscal exam needed There simply is not enough information here to give you any meaningful advice. A physical exam is really needed to make any recommendations. The amount of volume that can be added to your buttock will be limited by the amount of excess fat you have in your donor sites. The contour that can be achieved can be determined also by a physical exam. The posterior flanks are a great reservoir of donor fat for the BBL procedure. The BBL procedure involves harvest fat from areas of your body where there is excess fat and injecting that fat carefully into the central zone of your buttock. In addition, it involves liposculpting the buttock to facilitate a more rounded look. The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.Dr. BasuHouston, TX

Answer: BBL in Stockon HiThanks for your question. This is really a Catch 22. If you lose the weight now, then you won't have as much fat for transfer, and if you do the BBL now and then lose more weight, your buttock may get smaller. An in office exam would really help in terms of trying to help you make a decision. The fat that is transferred to the buttock typically lasts forever and will only fluctuate with significant weight gains. I would likely suggest that you get the BBL now, and maybe even go a little bigger than you would like. That way when you lose some weight down the road you will have a little cushion (no pun intended) room. Good Luck
