I'm currently 5'8 193 pounds. How much weight should I lose for ideal results for a BBL?

Question

I want to be really slim, however, I don't want to lose so much that I won't be able to achieve big booty dreams. I'm looking to have this surgery within the next 6 months, but I want to lose the weight first.

Carolina Restrepo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. The ideal BMI for surgery should be less than 30. It is recomended to have a stable weight for about 3 to 6 months for best surgery results. A consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon would be the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.For health and safety reasons, best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results.

The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!

It is a discussion you should have with your surgeon.  An evaluation in person is helpful to determine whether or not you should lose weight.

James E. Hardy, MD · Answer

Hi and thanks for the question and photos. The ideal weight surgery is a body mass index of 30 or less. There are BMI calculators online that can help you calculate your goal weight. Best of Luck - Dr Hardy...
