I am 5' 7 1/2 and almost 250lbs, however I have no health problems and have been the same weight for years. Please advise. I also may want a breast lift with no implants. I am willing to travel.

Answer: Have to lose a little weight Thank you for your honest question. Every doctor has a different threshold for BMI, at my practice its 37. This is not a question of the surgeon's skill or preference, but of safely putting you under the general anesthesia for surgery. That being said, I recommend you look into non-surgical medical weight loss options in your area. Medically supervised weight loss will help you take the pounds off rather than trying to go at it alone. Whether your opting for a BBL or breast lift with implants, that BMI requirement is the same. Once you lose at least 15 lbs please strive to live your healthiest life, eat well and get moving, to ensure your body and heart are strong enough to withstand surgery and recovery. Best of luck to you!

Answer: BMI The ideal BMI for aesthetics procedures is below 34%, but the more weight you lose the better results you will get. Reaching your weight goal prior to surgery would decrease the risks of complications during and after surgery and enhance results. Before any surgical decision you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.Have a great day!
