How young is too young to have a BBL? What are the risks of having surgery at such a young age?

Question

I am 18, 150 pounds and is considering it for various reasons.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

There is no age limit for a Brazilian Butt Lift. As long as you are in good physical health and have enough fat to transfer you can get the procedure.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

There is not really a lower limit on age (minors must have parental consent), as it is your general health which is more important to having the surgery.  I would say that a 18 year old is extremely malleable and responds very quickly to exercise regimens, while a 45 year old who has been working out for 10 years is far less likely to improve their physique with conventional measures.  Best that you schedule a consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of BBLs and liposuctions each year with excellent results and favorable patient reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

Your age is not an issue for this surgery. Two important factors to consider prior to surgery is your health status and having enough fat for the transfer. The risk for this surgery is not higher for your age group.Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Ricardo Ventura, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, There is not an specific age, all the depend of what you want to improve and the results of your blood work to evaluate your physical health; also the surgeon  that you choose has to be an expert in the procedure hat you are interested in. Make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who could evaluate you in person, all the best!!
