I'm 31 yrs old, 5'5", 245 lbs. Am I a Good Candidate for BBL?

Question

I am a 31 yr old AA woman. 5'5", 245 lbs. 30" thighs, 50" waistline and a 42" bust. Am I too overweight for BBL or does this make me a good candidate? Thanks for your help.

Based on your height and weight I would recommend losing some weight prior to any cosmetic surgical procedure. Consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons to see if you are a good candidate and how much weight you should lose before surgery. At your height I would estimate a good weight for this procedure would be close to 160, but this is difficult to determine without seeing your photos.

One of the most important aspects of buttock recontouring is gaining proportion. Some one with with your dimensions will have a difficult time with this type of enhancement. Like all my colleagues have suggested you really should lose some weight. This will provide a better baseline, will be a healthier operation, and you will not risk losing the fat once you lose weight. Best wishes

Thank you for your question. Based on your current weight and height you will need to lose some weight. To be a good candidate for the Brazilian butt lift you will need to be at least 20 to 30 pounds about your ideal body weight. I recommend you loose some weight  before the surgery for the best results
