If I am 295 and 5'11", am I a candidate for my BBL?

Thank you for sharing your concern with us. I recommend you to loose weight before considerate get these procedures done. You must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI of below 35, 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.

Hi there,
Most surgeons will require that a patient have a BMI of 30 or below in order to ensure a safe surgery and speedy recovery. You currently have a BMI around 41. We would need to work together first to lower your BMI before you could be considered for surgery. Furthermore, I would need to see photos or perform an in person consultation to give a recommendation.
Good luck!

Hi leelatoya202

You are a candidate for a Brazilian butt lift surgery if you feel that these characteristics describe you.

- Buttocks appears deflated and flat
- Buttocks has minimal or moderate sagging
- You have sufficient fat to donate or transfer.

Unfortunately your BMI is too high at 41. Lipo BBL is for contouring the body and not for weight loss. A BMI over 35 increases the risks dramatically and would ultimately be unsafe.

Before any plastic surgery you would need to lose weight first. Weight loss surgery, such as bariatric surgery, plus diet and exercise is your best option for now.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Your BMI is 41.1. A BMI of 35 is probably the upper limit that a plastic surgeon would consider for this procedure. Losing 80 pounds or more and holding that weight constant for 3 months prior to surgery would decrease the risks of complications during and after surgery and enhance final results. Lipo is for contours, not weight loss. Discuss a weight loss and exercise program with your PCP to help you reach your weight goal.
