Is stomach fat the best suited fat for a BBL? Would arm, leg or back fat work just as well?

Hello and thank you for your question,
Fat from the Back (Bra roll or lower flank) is just as suitable as fat from the abdominal area for transfer. As for the chance of weight gain, Liposuction with Fat Transfer does not reduce the chance of gaining weight in the same areas after the procedure.
Hope this helps, best of luck.

Great question. In general, fat is fat and it doesn't matter where it comes from on your body. The areas of harvest are chosen based on what will make the most sense for each patient. In general Lipo360 is the best to combine with BBL because it shapes the waist while we are transferring fat to the butt and hips, giving the best hourglass but not everyone has fat around their waist so we do go to other areas to harvest sometimes. As for gaining weight on the arms and legs, if you have fat harvested from one area, like 360 degrees around the torso and then gain weight chances are it will go to different locations so its best to do your best to maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight after your procedure to protect your results as best as possible.

The stomach is the most common area of liposuction for a BBL because it's the area where there are, usually, the most fat cells. Arms, legs, and back can also work, but you need to think about the amount of fat located in each area. Depending on your goals, and how big you want your BBL you may need to combine multiple areas of liposuction. Keeping a stable weight is always recommended to maintain your results.
