Age limit on BBL?

Dear glen8749,
as long as you are healthy, there is no age limitation for BBL surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

There is no age limit for BBL. This is largely determined by your overall health and your candidacy for the procedure.

​Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
There is no age limit for plastic surgery, it all depends on your current health condition and your lab tests.
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 :)

Glen,
I feel the reason less older patients do the BBL is because we were raised without a concern for buttock size. There are no restrictions regarding age, but rather medial conditions and BMI (height to weight ratio).
Best wishes.

Liposuction and to some degree fat transfer results are dependent on having a tight skin to give high-quality results. Skin laxity it’s probably the primary reason patients fail to get good results from body contouring procedures.

Patients who are older may not have significant skin laxity but skin elasticity does decrease with age which often acts similar to skin laxity. Significant fat removal with liposuction can also worsen skin appearance when skin lacks elasticity by showing fine wrinkles.

The interest in cosmetic surgery for body contouring seems to go down with age and facial appearance seems to be more important in those who are a bit older.

Patients in their 50s can certainly have a BBL procedure and if otherwise being a good candidate should expect good results but the results may not be as good as someone who is in their 20s.

Best,
