How Much Weight to Gain for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Gaining weight for a procedure is rarely a sound decision.

The principal behind the fat transfer in the Brazilian Butt Lift is not only to make the buttocks larger but to improve the overall shape of the waist, buttocks and hips.

Transferring of larger amounts of fat even in the best of hands becomes a higher risk for fat necrosis, cyst formation, loss of the fat with associated irregularities which may require revision procedures.

Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.

I would recommend that you see someone now to determine how much fat you have available to transfer to your buttocks. If you don't have enough fat to make it worthwhile then I would suggest finding someone with experience in buttock implants, if you are willing to go that route. Gaining weight for liposuction has never made much sense to me as when you lose the weight again you are likely to lose much of the transferred fat as well.  Good Luck  Dr Harrell
