Should I lose some weight before booking a BBL & Lipo 360?

BMI is just one measure of your fitness for surgery; current health is also important.  In my practice I look for a BMI approximating 30 to lessen the risks of complications during and after surgery and to enhance the results of the procedures. A BMI of 35 (yours is 32.5) is probably the upper limit that a plastic surgeon would consider for this procedure. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal (167-173) for three months prior to the BBL.

It is hard to give you and advice without seeing photos or doing an in person evaluation. Patients considering cosmetic surgery should have a BMI of 30 or less in order to minimize risks and maximize results. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello and thank you for the question. Ideally, you would like your BMI to be less than
30, however, this decision is individualized based on your overall health
status and what procedure you are having among others. The closer you are to
your ideal body weight, the better the results of the surgery and the less
likelihood of perioperative complications. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D.
