A healthy BMI is between 15 - 24, the maximum recommended being around 30. If you are above 30, then you are encouraged to lose weight before undergoing surgery. The higher the BMI the higher the chance of complications. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help you get an accurate recommendation for your procedure and for pricing.

The ideal weight for someone 5 foot 4 to 5 foot five for a BBL is 145 pounds.Under 120 pounds it may be challenging the harvest sufficient amounts of fat to justify the procedure though patients have had excellent outcomes at that height with weights lower than 120 pounds. above 170 pounds and patients cannot have the maximum benefit of Liposuction with one operation if the sturgeon stays within the safety limits in regards to fat removal. To get a deal results with torso or body liposuction patients over 170 pounds after need more than 5 L of fat removed.Weight or BMI is only one variable in regards to candidacy for the BBL.There are many other variables that need to be assessed in particular skin laxity, skeletal structure, presence of cellulite, muscle separation from previous pregnancies, excess visceral fat etc. etc. etc.I suggest scheduling several in person consultations for the local board-certified plastic surgeons in your area.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
