My BMI is at 27? Is that not enough for a BBL? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I already have a little bit of but naturally but would like to get enhanced. I have had several consults and they have said I am a perfect candidate but no more weight loss. Since then I have lost 10 pounds I really like to work out and don't want a small waist and fat arms and face. Can I still do the bbl even if I am not at BMI of 30.

This will depend upon your expectations and the ability of the PS to remove the fat. I perform the BBL on very thin people all the time, and there are very few patients who are not candidates.  You need to upload more photos for evaluation or consult in person with a board certified PS who performs hundreds of BBLs each year with favorable reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear krystlejem,based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!

Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire abdomen, back and waist liposuction with BBL, this is because you have located fat that can be done with lipo.

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

The thinner the person, the less extra fat they have for fat grafting.  But less fat is also needed on a thinner patient to show a desired result.  A thicker patient will have less difficulty obtaining fat for grafting, but more fat is needed.
A lot of the BBL is about camouflage and optics.  I think people who are at a healthy weight are actually the best candidates.  These are my general thoughts and specific advice would require an in person consultation with a doctor.
Best of luck!

Hello dear! 
Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for a liposuction with BBL and I think you'll get very good results.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You improve your abdomen, waist, back and of course your buttock to give you a beautiful heart shape.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)

Based on the photo, you appear to be a good candidate for BBL. This procedure will help you achieve a more contoured and hourglass shape. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

You are a perfect candidate for BBL. BBL is done on patients at there comfort weight. This is the weight at which the patient does not have to stress to maintain either through dieting or extraneous exercise. It also provides optimal fat cell size which optimizes transfer yields. Finally, the comfort weight will ensure that whatever the BBL specialist performs yields stable results that won't change with time. HD Vaser Liposuction technology is used in BBL surgeries to maximize contouring of your abdomen, flanks, lateral thighs and back. It also allows for highest viability for fat transfer. A skype consultation with a vaser liposuction specialist can assist you in definitive recommendations.
