Im 5’1 and Im 151 pounds should I lose weight? (photos)

Hi! You seem to be almost an ideal candidate for surgery. Your BMI is at 28.5. This is a good BMI for lipo and/or a Tummy Tuck.

At this point losing more weight is your call, and it will depend on how much smaller you want to look after surgery. If you are looking for a BBL with dramatic results, having enough fat for transfer is important. But if your goal is geared more towards a smaller and flatter tummy, losing weight will help even though it is not totally necessary.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Thank you for your question. It is best to be seen in person to be properly evaluated, however with that said based on the photos alone, you appear to be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift.

Liposuction of your flanks, abdomen, and back will give you a narrower waist and and a BBL will give more curves. I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon in person so they may better go over the procedures to help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire. Good luck!

Dear Gentle165496,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
