There is no ideal BMI, but I look for one below 32.  You can realize significant results if you select a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction and BBL for thinner patients.

Thanks for the question. The best body mass index for surgery is less or equal to 30. I recommend you to follow a nutritionist advices if you want to lose weight before the procedure. Kind regards

BMI should be less than 30 prior to elective surgery for health and safety reasons. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

For safety reasons, having a BMI of 30 or less is best. You would have to be seen in person to determine if you have enough fat for harvesting. Good luck.

Your numbers indicate that you are an ideal candidate for a Brazilian butt lift. See a board certified plastic surgeon, who operates at a certified facility and has done a ton of BBLs and you will be in good hands. Do not shy away from asking your doctor: How many Brazilian butt lift's did you perform (on people like me) last year doctor? Do not except vauge answers.
