Can I get a BBL or is my BMI too high? (Photo)

I often advice against having BBL in BMI more than 35 as the risks of surgery are much higher (chest infection, DVT/PE, fat necrosis and delayed healing). Also you don't get the best outcome from surgery due to the remaining internal visceral fat tissue. Generally speaking the best BMI to have this surgery is between 22-25 these are not 100% accurate as people tend to store the weight in different parts of the body. That's why it;s important to have a consultation with an experienced surgeon that would be able to assess the amount of external and visceral fat available and the best BMI that would match your aims and expectations.

Thanks for your question. At my practice, the max Body Mass Index (BMI) limit for a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is 35. The BMI is based on your height and weight. Going by the height and weight you provided, you are over the appropriate limit for a BBL. I would recommend consulting with your primary care physician on a proper diet for you to bring down your BMI in order to be able to undergo the procedure.
