Can a 17 year old have a BBL? Only to be more in proportion.

Question

My daughter has slim legs and arms. She has fat on her stomach and back. She also has strong love handles. She has trouble finding clothing that fit right. Pants are so loose until it reaches the stomach area then it doesn't even close. She becomes so upset that she just wears leggings and men's t-shirts. Can she have a bbl done?

Teenagers need
to be physically and emotionally mature before any plastic surgery.  If she is at her ideal body weight and
realistic, a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) may be helpful in achieving a more proportionate figure.  17 year olds do require paternal consent.

Thanks for your question. Since your daughter is under age, she must receive parental consent for cosmetic surgery. Make sure you do extensive research and contact several Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. Hope this helps,Dr. JSB

In the absence of photographs or a formal examination its impossible to determine your daughters suitability for surgery.  Certainly the best results are achieved when patients are at their ideal goal weight and have held it steady for three months or so.  You and your daughter need to seek the advise of a fully qualified, experienced plastic surgeon to determine her suitability for surgery.
