What is the ideal BMI for Brazilian butt lift?

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.

   The recommended BMI is less than 30. This is the recommendation of the American society of plastic surgery. The reason simply, is increased chance of complications. These include but limited to, pulmonary embolus, deep venous thrombosis, delayed wound healing and increase infection rate.
A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. After a successful Brazilian Butt lift, the fat that remains will stay there for the rest of your life. Like the rest of the tissue in your body this fat will grow and age with you.The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy.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 and choose one wisely.Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most accurate quote.
