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

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. 

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.

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...
