Is it best to be at your ideal weight and tone up before lipo and BBL to minimize loose skin?

Dear kkkk40,
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. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Dear Kkkk40, Thanks for your question. If you’re getting a BBL we will definitely need to take fat from your body and a liposuction will be needed so might need almost a BMI of 30 and have almost 10 or 15 pounds away from your ideal weight. You can’t get BBL without liposuction. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

A BMI of 35 is probably the upper limit that a plastic surgeon would consider for this procedure. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal for three months prior to the BBL. Reaching your weight goal prior to the BBL will decrease the risks of complications during and after surgery and will maximize results. Your board certified plastic surgeon will try to make the incisions as small as possible and place them in discrete locations. Resulting scars are usually well-concealed. I use only three 4 mm incisions to liposuction the abdomen, flanks, hips, and upper and lower back.
