Brazilian butt lift. I'm 34 with hypothyroidism. Do you think this surgery is pointless?

Question

I’m thinking about a Brazilian Butt life and I know that deals with fat transfer. I’m 34 with hypothyroidism. Do you think this surgery is pointless or waste of money?

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its difficult evaluate you if the case dont have a picture, its recommended if you get a consultation in person with a plastic surgeon to discuss all about theme.but firts you have to have approved from your endocrinology .my recommendation is get a consultation with your primary doctor and after plastic surgeon.

Hello and thank you for your question. The best way to know if a BBL procedure is right for you is to send in your photos for a thorough review. The other option is to come for an in-person consultation. It is important to know all of the details of your medical and surgical history. Safety is very important.All the best!Alex Zuriarrain, MD

If the condition is controlled with medication and you are healthy, the BBL can be performed. Your plastic surgeon will have to obtain approval from your internist or endocrinologist.General rule of thumb is to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal, maintain a stable weight for several months prior to surgery, and have a calculated BMI of approximately 30. I would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Being 34 with hypothyroidism does not make a BBL pointless. I have a lot of patients in their 30s who have hypothyroidism. As long as you are followed by a physician regularly and your thyroid levels are checked, there is no problem with having a BBL. Plus 40 is the new 30, so you might as well get that sexy now :)
