Is there a weight limit on Fat Transfer/BBL? (Photo)

Question

I weight 250 lbs , I want a smaller stomach and fuller butt. I exercise regularly but its not coming off quick enough. Do I have to lose weight before considering a BBL/Fat transfer or will I be ok with the amount of fat I have?

Thank you for sharing your concern with us. I recommend you to lose weight before considerate get these procedures done. You must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI of below 30, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.

Hello Eva,There is no set weight when considering any type of elective surgery, but based upon studies we know that within certain body mass index (BMI) ranges that complications can increase or decrease.  A healthy BMI generally ranges from 18.5 - 25.  This is measured using both your height and weight.  The higher your BMI climbs out of the healthy range your risks for wound healing, infection, etc increase as well.  However, weight alone is not the only factor to consider.    If you have any other medical conditions these are taken into consideration as well because at the end of the day your safety and health and the most important things to consider and should be your plastic surgeon's number one priority.I recommend meeting with a plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation and examine so that you can discuss your goals and determine if a BBL is a safe procedure for you at this time.Best of Luck!Dr. Rednam

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well... I recommend you to get a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. I suggest you to eat healthy and with less carbs and greases.. Because between surgeons, there is a weight limit, you have to be under 200 to perform a brazilian butt lift with liposuction.. Because you cannot get the results  you want, with more, you will have to have 2 rounds at least
