I'm 5'2 243lbs can I get a BBL or will I need to lose weight and how much will it cost me?
Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Answer: Can I get a BBL with a 44 BMI? BMI is just one measure of your fitness for surgery. Being ready for a BBL and lipo depends upon your health, your body habitus, and your goals. In my practice I look for a BMI approximating 30 to reduce the risks of complications during and after surgery and to enhance the results of the surgical procedures. Make an appointment with your PCP to discuss an exercise and weight reduction plan. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal for three months prior to the BBL.Kenneth Hughes, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Can I get a BBL with a 44 BMI? Thanks for your question. We never want to do anything that might jeopardize our patient's health. Unfortunately, based on the measurements your BMI is 44.4, making you ineligible for cosmetic surgery at this time. High BMI poses high surgical risk and reduces the likelihood you will receive optimal cosmetic results. Patients considering cosmetic surgery should have a BMI of 30 or less.

Answer: Can I get a BBL with a 44 BMI? Thank you for your photos and question. The recommended BMI prior to an elective surgery is less than 30 for health and safety reasons. Since your current BMI is 44 I would recommend losing about 20-40lbs to reduce your rate of complications during surgery and optimize your results. A tummy tuck can be done later to treat the loose skin and tighten the abdominal muscles.
