What is the minimum BMI for BBL?

Question

I'm 5'3 139lbs but I don't believe I have a lot of fat on me. How can I find out if I need to gain weight for the procedure?

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate
your question.

I have done
many Brazilian Butt lift procedures and specialize in body contouring. Based on your height and weight, you should have adequate fat currently.  The amount of enhancement possible depends on how much fat can be
harvested from your body.

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!

You likely have plenty of fat based upon your height and weight.  The
 key is to find a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed 
this thousands of times and has many reviews and before and after 
pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

You need to be seen in person to determine if you are a candidate for not. This would be based upon whether or not you have adequate donor sites.

Thank you very much for your question.There isn't a "minimum" BMI for the surgery, it's more about the fat distribution itself.  I recommend visiting with a plastic surgeon who does both BBL and buttock implants to discuss your option.  Best of luck!
