Dear leticia14,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a tummy tuck, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to 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
Thank you for your question. Besides needing to be in good overall health and cleared for surgery, my BBL patients have a Body Mass Index (BMI) limit of 35. There are BMI calculators online that can help you figure out your BMI. Additionally, to provide a proper evaluation/recommendation, posting your pictures would help. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.Take care,Moises Salama M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Without pictures or more information it is difficult to do a proper assessment. I recommend setting up an in person consultation with a surgeon who specializes in this procedure. Good luck!

Hi,Thank you for your question. The ideal candidate for a BBL is someone with a BMI of 30 or around that. It's best you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation and go over the results and any other possible options. Best of luck!
HelloFor optimal results your BMI should be less than 30 for elective procedures. You definitely you must be evaluated first to accomplish what you wished. RegardsDr. Israel MañonCertified Plastic Surgeon
It is difficult to assess your candidacy for BBL with no photos. In general, BMI (body mass index) should be less than 30 prior to an 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.
