What would be the highest BMI acceptable for the Brazilian Butt Lift with lipo?

Question

What would be the highest BMI acceptable for the BBL with lipo and fat transfer not implants.... I'm currently on my weight loss journey and have lost 20lbs so far and hoping to losing another 20-40 so I can get the BBL done the end of this year... My BMI is currently 38 and I need to know what is a good enough BMI for the procedure? I don't want to be at 29-31 BMI because I would need some fat to transfer for the BBL... Please help

Alex Campbell, MD · Answer

We like patients to be close to their ideal weight, but the truth is that most patients coming for plastic surgery are above this.  Safety for surgery is an individualized answer depending on overall health status of the individual.  I recommend a full consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to take a look at the whole picture.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

BMI is but one measure.  Distribution of fat and overall health as well as goals all factor into this decision.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

The perfect and safe BMI for a bbl is 29-31. You will have fat enough to transfer in order to achieve a great result. Be encouraged. Dr. Cardenas

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

You should target reducing your BMI to less than 30 to reduce your surgical complication risk.You will likely still have enough to transfer.

Hi, thanks so much for your inquiry, as my colleagues are stating the best is to be as closest as your ideal weight, the fat distribution is more important in this case, I highly recommend to have a virtual (Skype) or an in person consultation so you can discuss thoroughly all your concerns, options, and expectations, good luck in your PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon
