Get the real deal on beauty treatments—real doctors, real reviews, and real photos with real results.Here's how we earn your trust.
Your photos would indicate you are a great candidate for a BBL but an exam by a well qualified board certified plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss outcome expectations.As long as your weight is stable, which I would define as plus or minus five pounds from your current weight over the past few years, you would be a reasonable candidate for a Brazilian Butt lift.
Hello Charisma36, I appreciate your questions! Your plastic surgeon might recommend you following a weight loss program before undergoing any aesthetic procedure since your current Body Mass Index (BMI) estimate of 37 surpasses by far the ideal threshold measurement suitable for a safe and successful Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) recovery and final outcome. Kind regards! Dr. De La Cruz.
Thank you for your question. Yes, it's possible although not recommended. High BMI poses high surgical risk and reduces the likelihood you will receive optimal cosmetic results. Many patients struggle to achieve their optimal weight despite diet and exercise. However, to reduce your risks during surgery and ensure optimal results it's important to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet to prepare for surgery. The closer you are to your ideal weight before surgery the better your result will be. The recommended BMI for cosmetic surgery is 30 or less. This will help maximize results and minimize risks during and after surgery. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
Thanks for your question. It is possible, but not ideal due to the fact that complication rates may increase such as blood clots, seroma rates, etc. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.Take care,Moises Salama M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Thank you for your question, an in person consultation would be best for a detailed exam and evaluation.Always see a board certified PS
BMI should be less than 30 prior to an elective surgery for health and safety reasons. Consider losing some weight and then consult a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Your first step with the information given should be to loose weight in order to be at good BMI so that you are healthy for a procedure.Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon.
