I’m going to be getting a bbl in April I’m 5’4 and I’m 225 pounds, very over weight but I carry mostly in my lower body I have very wide hips and big thighs with a smaller waist. I want to lose about 50 pounds so I’ll be close to my goal body around the time of the surgery. So that way I won’t lose my butt afterwards

Answer: Weight loss before BBL Dear autumnrose11,the optimal weight to have a BBL surgery is a very common question and for good reason. Having surgery before you reach your target weight can lead to suboptimal results if you were to lose more weight after surgery. Good first questions to ask yourself are: 1. Am I at my goal weight? 2. Is my weight stable? have you lost or gained more than 10lbs in the past month? What was your weight last year? 3. Are you eating a healthy diet and exercising? If you are not at your goal weight or your weight is not stable, you should hold off on surgery. If not, great! Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.

Answer: Safety as first priority Safety is the most important because NEVER your life or health should put at risk So you must acknowledge your BMI must be below 30, so your weight should be 175 lbs by the day of surgery.Your surgeon will be focus on achieving the best result instead of just removing fat. So be encouraged!!Dr. Cardenas
