I have been thinking about getting a BBL for a year or so now and think I will go through with it. I am concerned though, how close to my goal weight should I be? I am 5'5 and look good/ feel good at 150-160. I gained a lot of weight (now 180) during a dark period but now I am eating right and working out again. How close to my goal weight should I get? I'd like to book my surgery in May but it all depends on the weight thing. Thanks!

Answer: BBL I recommend getting as close as you can to your goal weight for optimal results. Even if you're 5 lbs away that should be fine. If you lose significant weight after your surgery, you may affect the results. You should have a discussion with your plastic surgeon about the weight that you and your doctor feel comfortable with before proceeding with surgery.

Answer: Weight loss before BBL Dear Luna_xo,Congrats on the weight loss! Generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you considering BBL surgery, 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.
