John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

it is strongly advised to attain a normal or non obese BMI (

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You improve your abdomen, waist, back, flanks and of course your buttock to give you a beautiful heart shape.
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 :)

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!

Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire abdomen, back and waist liposuction with BBL, this is because you have located fat that can be done with lipo.

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

The recommended BMI is under 30 prior to an elective surgery for health and safety reasons. So, I would recommend losing some weight to lower your BMI (close to 30). Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Dear Chyrob95,Thank you for posting pictures with your question, but they would've been more informative on underwear. It seems you are a good candidate for a BBL with lipo to improve the body shape and buttocks volume. To have a more adequate answer please contact a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in high BMI patients. Best wishes.
