Can I get a BBL with BMI of 20? (Photo)

Dear flobraybrooke,
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.

I have had great success with BBLs for thinner women, but these surgeries are not easy. Maximal fat must be harvested without creating any contour deformities. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced with liposuction to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and facial integrity has remained the same. There are a lot of women who can get nice results from the BBL despite thinking that there is not enough fat. Schedule an email, Skype, or in-office consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in thin patients.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your chin, abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
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 :)

Hi! Thank you for asking,BMI is a measurement that is used to check if your weight is in a healthy range comparative to your height. It's a tool that assists your plastic surgeon when determining safety and suitability for all elective plastic surgery procedures. But, it's only an estimate and it doesn’t take into account age, ethnicity, gender and body composition. We also like to check your waist measurement and other risk factors at the time of your consultation.But an IDEAL BMI – a healthier lower BMI more in the 25-29 range, may get you an even better surgery result.A BMI of 20-25 is ideal but may not be realistic for all, aim for a BMI of less than 30. A BMI in the healthy range will not only improve your suitability for the procedure but also increase the overall safety and your aesthetic result.

Because of your low BMI your BBL it’s going to have only slight impact. The results will be more subtle than those who have more fat to work with. Your facial profile shows a substantially under developed Mandible. This is the primary reason for your double chin or lack of jaw line definition. I suggest considering sliding sliding genioplasty or chin implant. The sliding genioplasty procedure seems to be more commonly performed by oral surgeons so you may wanna talk to some of those in your area. I do not recommend having a calf reduction.
