5’5 220 pounds 24 years old Female - I wanted to know if I was a candidate for lipo and BBL? (photo)

Question

Hi , I’m currently suffering from pcos and hypothyroidism which caused me to gain so much weight I wanted to know if I was a candidate for lipo and BBL. my testosterone is very high because of my pcos.. but I don’t look like I weigh 220 at least I don’t think I do my BMI basically 35 I feel like maybe I can get down to 215 by the end of this month or 210 but if I don’t can I not get my surgery?

If the conditions are controlled with medication and you are healthy, lipo and the BBL can be performed. Your plastic surgeon will have to obtain approval from your internist or endocrinologist. Having a BMI of 36.6 puts you in the obese range and increases the risks of complications before and after surgery and less than optimal results.

Dear Contrerafuturedoll,
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. Based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

With a BBL, the more fat you have to transfer, the more fat we can deposit into your butt (provided that you are within a healthy weight range).  When there isn't much fat to take from the abdomen, flanks, bra rolls and/or thighs, but they are looking for a voluptuous bottom, then they can gain a healthy amount of weight in order to produce more fat to transfer.  It is important to remember, however, that even a small amount of fat can make a subtle, yet noticeable difference with a BBL.  Small amounts of fat added to the buttocks can help shape it, but the contouring provided with the liposuction can give people a curvier shape, even with minimal volume.
Always seek out a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for the best results.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good full body intense liposuction including abdomen, waist, laterals and upper and lower back to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thanks for your question. You appear to be a good candidate for a brazilian butt lift. When planning a Brazilian butt lift, patients can look forward to a double benefit: reducing areas of unwanted fat while gaining a perkier, rounded posterior.  Each procedure must be planned according to the individual needs of patients, harvesting fat from target areas of the torso, thighs or knees and transferring it to create smooth, attractive contours optimized for each person.If you lose a few pounds and get as close to your goal weight before surgery the better your results will be.That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a good 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 can improve your abdomen, hips, back and 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 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 :)

Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and VASER liposuction. I have performed these on other patients with PCOS. The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
