No Ideal weight for a Brazilian Butt Lift

There is no ideal weight for a Brazilian Butt lift. The most important step in planning your surgery is discussing with your plastic surgeon exactly what your goals are. Give them a very good idea of the shape size and contour that you would like your butt to be. Your plastic surgeon should then be able to tell you if it is possible to achieve your goals and if you have enough tissue for them.

Ideal weight for Brazilian Butt Lift

There is no correct weight or BMI that you need to have to undergo this procedure. The extremes of weight are never good (excessively thin or heavy).

Its more about your proportion and weight stability

Reducing the waist and hips and using that fat for the buttocks gives the best results. Your weight should be stable too, since large weight gain or loss after any kind of liposcupting can result in fat loss or deposition in unpredictable areas.
