150 lbs- What is the lowest your BMI can be for a BBL? (Photos)

Question

I had WLS in 2016 I went from 283 to 145. I had skin removal in 2020. A FDL TT and a breast lift. I am currently holding steady around 150. (Which makes my bmi 25.7) And I would like to have a BBL. Would I have to gain weight for this? I have no hips. I just want something super natural. I would love some hips and some curve to my butt (and to not look like SpongeBob)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for a 360 Lipo with BBL. This will allow you to removal the maximum amount of fat and transfer to your hips and buttocks. You do not have to gain weight. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options after a thorough evaluation. I hope this helps.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

No minimum BMI exists for BBLs; I do not recommend weight gain. Fat can be taken from many different areas (abdomen, sides, back, bra rolls, thighs, arms, etc) depending upon the areas of excess and what your goals may be. Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. The goal is to transfer fat from areas where you find it displeasing to areas in which you would like more volume. I recommend that you schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified surgeon for proper evaluation.

Dear rae.nacoal2020,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Your weight and BMI seem approptiate for ma BBL. But because of your previous surgeiries you would need to be examined to ascertain whether you are a goood candidate for a BBL. You should consult with a Board Certified PS. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. 
It is possible to harvest fat tissue from abdomen, waist and back and perhaps some from thighs. This amount of fat will be enough for a natural result in BBL. So it looks that you don't need to gain extra weight for it.
