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

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Your BMI is within the recommended range, but unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer.
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 30 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 :)

You are definitely not too old to have a BBL.

Your BMI seems appropriate for the procedure as well.

Generally speaking the ideal candidate for the BBL tends to be young women with tight skin who don’t have pregnancy related changes, minimal skin laxity, no excess visceral fat that are slightly chubby.

As people get older they loose skin elasticity. Skin laxity is one of the major reasons patients fail to be great candidates for both Liposuction and fat transfer procedures. Skin laxity contributes to a significant amount to body contour regardless of fat distribution.

Loss of skin elasticity goes on throughout adult life but starts being an issue and patience around your age but generally older.

Things like sun damage, genetics and weight fluctuations also have a significant contributing impact to skin elasticity.

Best,
