I’m 5’5, 260 with a flat butt, no hips, a belly and big breasts. Can I get a BBL? (photo)

Question

I’m 5’5 260 and top heavy. I want an hour glass shape but I want to be full bodied. Would I be able to get a 360 Lipo and BBL and later get a tummy tuck and breast lift? Would I need to lose weight before getting the BBL? I want my butt as big as possible with hips since my legs are thick. Roughly how much would these procedures cost?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. A BMI of 35 (yours is 43.3) is probably the upper limit that a plastic surgeon would consider for this procedure. 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. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal for three months prior to the BBL. With no medical problems, losing weight  through diet and exercise would make you a good candidate for Liposuction/BBL and Tummy Tuck.

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your concern with us. I recommend you to loose weight before considerate get these procedures done. You must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI of below 35, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.

Dear Franny00,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a BBL, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery.
If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello! Thank you for your question. Based on your photos and BMI it is recommended you loose weight before considering surgery. Your BMI should be well under 30 in order to be considered for cosmetic surgery. Since this is elective it is important you are at a healthy weight in order to decrease the possibly risks and complications associated with a high BMI. Best of luck in your journey.

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Right now your BMI is 43 and it needs to be 33 or less, for you to be considered a good candidate for plastic surgery.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and the best options for you.
Good luck :)
