Am I too old at 41 for a BBL and how much weight should I lose?

Dear kellynj,
you are not too old for surgery. Generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a BBL, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the 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.

Thank you for your question. There is not a specific age, but first, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

Kind Regards,

Hello, thank you for your question. Age by itself will not prevent you from having a BBL. One of my patients was 72 years old. Overall medical health and suitability of the procedure for a patient is more important than age. Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, bra roll and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. This really just depends upon your goals. You do not need to loose weight, you can get nice results with your current weight. I recommend you to schedule an email or Skype consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of these procedures and who has pictures and reviews you like.
