Can I have a Brazilian Butt Lift? I'm 16 years old and I weigh over 300+lbs.

Question

I"m 16 years old and I weigh over 300+lbs. I would like to have a safe surgery to improve my health. But I have a large bottom its not as round. Or should I just lose the weight on my own

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You should be at least 18 years old to be a candidate for plastic surgery. 
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Greetings. Since you are 16 years old, you are considered a minor and would not be able to provide legal consent without your parent(s).  Also, weight loss needs to be considered to an acceptable level where your height is proportional to your weight and your body mass index is 30 or less.  This will lower the risk of complications and improve the overall cosmetic result.  Good luck!

Thank you for your question.  First, it is best that you speak with your parents about your desire to improve your health through surgery.  To improve the your buttocks, you could undergo a Brazilian butt lift which would remove fat from areas of your body such as your sides, back, and abdomen and transfer it to your buttocks.  To determine what procedure(s) would give you the best results it is best to see a board certified plastic surgeon after talking with your parents.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
