Dear SKim214,
BMI is calculated based on your height and weight and there are a lot of options to calculate it online. The weight of your implants and Sculptra should have no major effect on your BMI.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  BMI calculators can be found online and use a formula based on your height and weight.  Hope this helps.

BMI is a straightforward calculation that only takes into account your weight and height.  It does not factor in implants or other enhancements.  This is one of the reasons why BMI is only considered one factor when assessing a patient.  Other factors such as body frame, overall health, and general lifestyle also taken into account when evaluating a patient.

Hello! Thank you for your question. Your question is a common one. Two 400cc implants (whether saline or silicone) weigh approximately 2lbs total. Sculptra is also a low weight product. They shouldn't greatly affect your BMI. I hope this answers your question. Best of luck!

good question. A three cup breast size change is about 600 cc though this varies with height and width of the patient. So 1.2 liters. 2.6 pounds. The sculptra once all swelling is gone will add at little. Maybe a pound. BMI is a standard measurement based on height and weight not on fat content or percent muscle. Your body changes are not the result of your surgery.

It is difficult to evaluate the options without seeing photos,
It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a good evaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.
I hope this answer will help you
  
My best wishes for you...
