Am I candidate for a Brazilian Butt lift and tummy tuck? (photo)

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to tell just from this picture if you are a good candidate for a BBL and tummy tuck. I suggest you upload front, side and back pictures of you in a two piece bathing suit or undergarments for a better evaluation. That said, I perform countless bbl and tummy tuck combo surgeries at my practice and recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience in with BBL and tummy tuck combos and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

​Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion with that photo. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Kind Regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear EllieD333,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

At 335 pounds you are still morbidly obese and quite a ways away from being a good candidate for any surgical procedure.

I’m guessing you need to lose at least another hundred pounds before you are approaching being an appropriate candidate.

Morbidly obese people are not good candidates for Liposuction or fat transfer procedures and most likely with successful weight loss you will lose your candidacy for liposuction and increase your candidacy for skin tightening procedures.

Continue doing what you’re doing or if you’re plateauing do more of the same since it’s working.

Weight loss can we challenge but you have proven to yourself and to the world that you are capable of it.

Keep up the good work.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD

Hello, and thanks for your question. Congratulations on the weight loss! You would be a candidate if your BMI is under 35. It would be unsafe to perform surgery if your BMI is over 35.

Please see a board-certified physician for your consultation. Best of luck to you!

Congratulations on your weight loss success and journey! Several factors will determine if you are a candidate: your expectations of your final aesthetic result, your other health conditions, your goal weight, nutritional status and amount of loose skin to name a few. Currently you are not a candidate because you have not reached your goal weight and maintained it for 6 months. Continue a healthy lifestyle and as you get closer to a BMI between 30-40, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your surgical options.
