I'm 5'4" and want to know what weight I need to be to have a BBL/Fat Transfer. I'm very chesty. Breast are a very full 38 DDD . I've gained a lot of weight 4 years ago as a result of thyroid issues and can't lose it no matter what I try.

Answer: BBL and BMI In general, any body contouring procedure will work best if the BMI is under 30. This is not absolutely necessary, but in general, the cosmetic result will be better. You should be aware that deflating your abdomen by harvesting fat may result in loose skin which would then need to be removed with some form of a tummy tuck. The only way to know what she exact procedure is good for you is to visit with two or three board-certified plastic surgeons.Best of luck!

Answer: Liposuction, BBL and Obesity A BMI of 30 and over is defined as Obesity while a BMI of 40 or over defined high risk or Morbid Obesity. It has been proven in several studies that body contouring in people with BMIs greater than 30 is associated with both higher complications and average to disappointing results. Here are my suggestions. I would home in in the thyroid issue. A low function thyroid is associated with both weight gain and slow metabolism as well as slow thinking, depression and feeling cold a lot of the time. But it is easily fixable with thyroid pills. Once your thyroid checks out (by checking your TSH levels). Then I would cut ALL carbs and exercise regularly for 6 months to see where it takes you. From your photos, yiur buttocks are not small but like millions of other women you have excess fat of the lower back which appear to flatten the buttocks. I would suggest that Back Scoop Liposuction may greatly enhance your lower back creating lower back definition, a shelf and buttocks which literally appear to "pop". BBL is the grafting of fat into a flat buttock devoid of volume. This does not appear to be the case with you. Dr. Peter A. AldeaMemphis, TN
