Can someone who weighs 235lbs get a BBL? (Photo)

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 @bonitatejiri thank you for your question. Every practice has different requirements for performing a BBL based on BMI that is a weight measure to analyze how risky and optimal the surgery can be, in terms of complications that the patient could have or the results that the patient want to obtain from the surgery. However, It depends on every specialist the requirements for every surgery. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

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 at 36.8 and do not meet our BMI requirement. Since you are over the BMI limit, 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. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take Care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon

Dear bonitatejiri,
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 surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

With your weight of 235 lbs and height of 5'8", your BMI is 36.8. Most board certified plastic surgeons will not perform a BBL on patients with a BMI over 35. I prefer that my patients have a BMI of 30 or below. The reason, fewer complications during and after surgery and better results. Of course, other things must be considered such as your current health, diet, and exercise program.
