Hello there!! Not only the weight matter but the height as well. If your height it's over 5'6 you can safely qualify for a BBL.
The eligibility for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) depends on several factors, including your weight, overall health, and body composition. Generally, plastic surgeons recommend that patients have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or below for a BBL, which means that they should be within a healthy weight range for their height.If you are over 230 pounds, it's possible that you may not be a good candidate for a BBL due to the increased risks associated with the procedure. It's important to understand that the BBL is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and then injecting it into the buttocks to enhance their size and shape. The procedure can be complicated by factors such as a higher risk of blood clots, complications related to anesthesia, and other health concerns associated with being overweight.If you're interested in a BBL, it's best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual situation and provide guidance on whether the procedure is safe and appropriate for you. We may recommend that you lose weight before undergoing the procedure, or we may suggest alternative procedures that can achieve similar results without the risks associated with a BBL.
Thanks for your question. At my practice, the max Body Mass Index (BMI) limit for a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is 35. The BMI is based on your height and weight. You can check your BMI online with a BMI calculator. If you are over the BMI limit, I would recommend consulting with your primary care physician on a proper diet for you to bring down your BMI in order to be able to undergo the procedure. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take Care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon
There’s a lot of things that go into a successful and safe surgery. BMI and how you carry your weight, other medical problems and your goals of surgery all have to be taken into account when you go for a consultation. Keep in mind that in general most surgeons will not remove more than 6L of fat during the liposuction aspect of the procedure which is a big part of getting the shape you’re probably looking for. I definitely think you should have an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can tell you if they think your procedure will safely give you what you are looking for.
It is hard to say without a consultation or pictures. Typically, it is recommended to be at a BMI of less than 30 and to be within 5-10 lbs of your goal weight in order to maintain long term results. A healthy BMI is between 15-24 with the highest BMI recommended to be around 30. The higher the BMI the greater the chance of developing complications. If you are a good candidate, (often less than 5 L of fat), then optimal results can be achieved if you maintain a stable weight postoperatively.A virtual or in person consultation with a BBL specialist will provide you accurate recommendation and pricing.
