KEY CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE YOUR BBL: If you believe your current weight is one you can maintain comfortably long-term, then this might be your ideal weight for surgery. However, with procedures like BBL and Lipo 360, you will likely lose some weight (approximately five pounds or so) due to fat removal.
While there's no set minimum weight for a BBL, having sufficient body fat is essential. An ideal BMI range for a BBL typically falls between 25 and 30, but BMI isn't the only consideration. Your individual fat distribution plays a crucial role.
While the best BBL candidates have extra fat they'd like to get rid of, we never recommend gaining weight before a BBL. The goal of a Brazilian butt lift is to enhance your curvy figure. Any weight gain hinders that. Maintaining a stable weight is optimal and allows for the most successful and stunning results.
The weight changes you'll experience are usually minimal. On average, patients may see a loss of about 5 pounds or less following a BBL. This modest decrease is primarily due to the small amount of fat removed during liposuction. Remember, BBL's main objective is fat redistribution, not significant weight reduction.
While there is not a maximum or minimum weight required for BBL surgery, your surgeon will likely evaluate your BMI, body fat percentage, and other factors to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. In some cases, exceptionally thin patients may not have an adequate amount of extra fat for BBL surgery.
There is no minimum weight requirement for a Brazilian butt lift procedure, but there does need to be adequate fat on your body for the fat transfer to your buttocks. Those who have insufficient fat for liposuction are not candidates for BBL surgery.
The average TOTAL cost of skinny bbl depends on how many areas of liposuction we perform to “hunt” the fat. The average cost of this procedure ranges from $10,900-$18,000 depending on the number of procedures performed. Keep in mind that you also get a complete body resculpting (abdomen and waist) with this procedure.
Weight Fluctuations. Significant weight fluctuations after a BBL can alter the results. Losing weight can cause the fat cells transferred to your buttocks to shrink, diminishing the volume gained from the procedure.
On average, BBL costs range from $5,000 to $15,000 in the United States. e clinics offer financing options to make the procedure more accessible. Patients should research and compare different providers before making a decision.
Since around 60% of the fat from an initial BBL can last, some patients find the results not as much as hoped. Others wish to improve the smooth contour and get rid of unwanted lumps and hip dips. Various reasons a second-round Brazilian Butt Lift can be ideal include: Correcting asymmetry from a prior BBL.
Resuming physical activity too quickly following your BBL can have adverse effects on the outcome of your surgery. Engaging in exercise before your body has had adequate time to heal may lead to a reduction in the volume and an alteration in the shape of your augmented buttocks.
Overall, the standard BMI for the surgery should be below 30 BMI, but it should be above 23 or 24 depending on body fat percentage and type. Make sure though that it is not above 35 BMI since it can increase the chances of complications.
Generally advised to lose weight before considering a BBL for safety reasons and to achieve the best possible results.
The fat for BBL is taken from a “donor area” with fat to spare, most often the thighs and hips, abdomen and flanks, and lower and mid back. However, while these are often the most popular donor sites, fat can be taken from any area of the body and transferred to the buttocks for a BBL.
But the average total cost of the procedure from an experienced surgeon – including followup care – can easily be anywhere from $6,000 to $18,000 or more, based on your geographic location and many other factors. Because it's a cosmetic surgery, a BBL is typically not covered by health insurance.
Year Ten. Ten years after your BBL surgery, you can expect to have the same desired butt from your cosmetic procedure. However, you should stick to a healthy weight and avoid any drastic changes to ensure your butt stays plump and perky and your body remains proportional.
The cons of a Brazilian Butt Lift
Like any surgical procedure, a BBL carries risks. These include infection, fat embolism, asymmetry, and anesthesia-related complications. The good news is that by choosing a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Yaqub Baraki, you minimize these risks.
Sitting down, even on a cushion, creates a great deal of pressure on the delicate fat cells in your new bottom. You can use the toilet, but otherwise, avoid sitting as much as you can.
The BBL smell is often described as musty or slightly sour, but it should not be overpowering.
The overall shape and volume of your BBL should remain consistent, but you may experience sagging with age. Genetics: Like weight loss, genetics can influence the distribution of body fat, and some people may be naturally predisposed to a saggy or flat butt.
Everyone kind of thinks you have to have a lot of fat to be curvy, to have a Brazilian butt lift, but you can be curvy at a hundred pounds, 130 pounds, 160 pounds, 200 pounds… all the curve is is having a waist narrower than the ribs, narrower than the hips.
Small fluctuations in weight, such as 10-15 pounds, generally don't cause drastic changes in BBL results. On the other hand, larger weight losses, such as 30 pounds or more, could alter the appearance. The buttocks may become less voluminous if the transferred fat cells shrink significantly.
