Are there any docs that do BBL on patients with a high BMI, around 40?

Thank you for your question.  I will not perform a BBL on a patient with a BMI over 35.  Your health and safety should be your number one concern.  Please lose weight before undergoing the procedure.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

You should be within a normal BMI before considering surgery - you are xposed to much higher risks and potential complications. 

Hi... Thank you for the question... Generally this type of surgery is done with BMI around 35... Because the risk that these involve... And the resul

I'm sure you can find a surgeon to perform a BBL on a patient with a BMI of 40, but the better question is should a person with a BMI around 40 have a BBL.  A BMI of 40 is the definition of morbid obesity. Infections, wound issues, blood clots which can go to the lungs, and heart attack which can be fatal. It is best that you lose weight and have a BMI closer to 30 to reduce your risk of complications. 

Hello. We can always perform liposuction and bbl on patients with high bmi. It is just that the results won't be so grand due to your weight   It is best recommended that you work in weight loss prior to planning your Brazilian lift. Thanks 

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
It is very risky to performed surgery on patients with a BMI above 33.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

High BMI patients have a higher risk of complications. It is best to get to a lower BMI before having surgery.

As any regular viewer of local, national and international news knows all to well people do stupid, selfish and often cruel things every second of the day. As your parents probably taught you, just because you CAN do something does NOT mean that you SHOULD do it.Operating on large people (BMI 40 and greater) is associated with a large percentage of complications AND of disappointing results. BUT - if you looked long enough, you may find someone who cares more for the money they can derive from you than what they could potentially do to you.If you stop and think about it, the MOST you can remove safely in an outpatient liposuction (with or without) fat grating is about 10 pounds. What real difference would that make in someone who is 40 or more pounds overweight? I would recommend you explore weight loss surgery, if you want to lose the weight, and once you drop to a BMI below 30 consult with a Plastic surgeon as to WHICH operation or sequence of operations would most likely get you the figure you deserve in a MUCH healthier body.Good LuckPeter Aldea, MDMemphis, TN

I am sure you will find a plastic surgeon who would do a BBL on someone with very high BMI. The question is it worth the risk of your life to do this. High BMI is associated with the higher risks of surgery, including infection, bleeding, Deep Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Emboli (Blood Clots). Plus the fact that the results are not so good, and disappointing after spending a significant amount of money, discomfort and recovery time.
