Hello, I am 5'4 and weigh 170. I am planning to have a BBL early 2017. I was 185 and slowly im reaching my goal of 150. I feel conflicted as I want to loose the remaining 20lbs to have a tiny waist but I also want to have enough for a rather big transfer to my butt. Should I drop some now weight now or wait until after?

Answer: BBL Hello, thanks for your inquiry and for sending your pictures, first of all, congratulations on your weight loss, nowadays could be so hard with so much processed food at hand. It is better that you are closer to your ideal weight as much as possible and keep it stable as long as possible. Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-LeonBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: BBL Thank you for your question and photographs.It is highly recommended for patients to have a BMI of 30 or less before undergoing elective surgery and yours is slightly under that. I usually recommend that my patients remain at their goal weight for at least 6 months before having surgery done but I would discuss this with your surgeon and see what they recommend for optimal results. Best of luck!Sincerely, James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science
