BMI of 35.9 - can get liposuction and a breast fat transfer?

Question

What options do I have with a BMI of 35.9? I was hoping for a breast fat transfer, lipo and possible mini tuck but it seems no one will touch me with my BMI.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

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 is probably the upper limit that a plastic surgeon would consider for these procedures.

Hi there! Thanks for your question. 
Typically, you need to have a BMI of 30 or below before undergoing an elective procedure. This ensures the safest, healthiest and fastest surgery / recovery.

Best of luck!

With a BMI of 35.9, liposuction can be done.  10 lbs can safely be removed during one session and can be repeated if necessary.

Best Wishes,

Dear Chelle219,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can certainly get Vaser Lipo done, which can remove a large amount of fat in one session, and use the fat for augmentation of your breasts. However, you should be aware that fat transfer to the breast can only give limited volume enhancement, and will not correct sagging.Ideally, you should consult a board- certified Plastic Surgeon who will assess you and advise you.
