Can someone with a high BMI get a BBL with 360 lipo? (Photo)

Question

I’m looking for a doctor who can perform 360 lipo and a Brazilian butt lift. I am 5’3 , 18, and 240 pounds. Although my BMI, it doesn’t account for he amount of muscle I can which contributes to weight. I also don’t look my and I am not interested in getting “skinny”. I just want to shape my body a little more and give me a nice butt with protrusion. I know that this surgery is possible for me but certain doctors are too far.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hello darling,

You can not get surgery with a BMI as high as that. I can calculate its aroung 42.5. 
No plastic surgeon would perform a surgery on you, that would mean its not a safe surgery and youd be in danger so. First, I recommend you to lose weight till your BMI drops till 34, maximum, and after that you can analyze getting a plastic surgery.

Remember, safety first, always.

Hope this helps and best of lucks.

Dr. Luis Mejia.

A BMI of 35 (yours is 42.5) is probably the upper limit that a plastic surgeon would consider for a BBL with 360 lipo. At your current weight you would not be pleased with the results and the risks of complications during and after surgery would be elevated. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal for three months prior to the BBL. Consult with your PCP to begin a diet and exercise program that will help you lose the extra 45 pounds.

Dear Dhreamr114,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a BBL, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery.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.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Right now your BMI is 43 and it needs to be 33 or less, for you to be considered a good candidate for plastic surgery.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and the best options for you.
Good luck :)
