Question

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.No, you don't lose weight after a Brazilian Butt Lift.

To be sure, see two or more experienced,
board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are
a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the picture and provided information as well.
Liposuction and BBL are not a weight loss procedure, but a contouring one. To achieve the best results, and to have the safest surgery, it is best if you reach your goal weight before the procedure(s).
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 33 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 :)

You do not necessarily lose weight after a brazilian butt lift. In fact, sometimes you can gain a little weight because of the water retention initially.

Julian Gordon, MD · Answer

Brazilian Butt Lifts are just a liposuction procedure with the suctioned fat being transferred to the buttock.  Liposuction is not done for weight loss but for sculpting and shaping the areas of concern.  In general your weight will not change after liposuction unless a very large volume of fat is suctioned (multiple liters).  Even when large volumes of fat are suctioned it is rare for a patient's weight to drop more than a pound or two.

Your weight should remain very much the same if you simply do a fat transfer to your buttocks.   If you have a liposuction and some of the fat is not transferred but simply discarded you may weigh somewhat less.  My Best,  Dr C
