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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
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.
