BBL and lipo pricing: I was denied a quote because I weigh too much I guess....smh. Do I need to loose weight? (Photos)

Cost varies by Surgeon, Anesthesia, Location, Etc.
A  Brazilian butt lift harvest fat from areas  with the fat removed from the areas using your own fat it transfer to the buttocks and into the hips.The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy.
Surgeons, Like myself offer online consultation, so that you can be examined.
Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who is highly experience in Brazilian Butt Lifts.  choose one wisely.

I do recommend achieving a stable healthy weight before proceeding with a BBL. In addition, that surgeon may have protocols regarding weight. Please seek another board certified plastic surgeon if you are still concerned. Best of luck,

Think there's a couple of different issues. I actually think that you'd get a good result with a BBL; specifically, your body shape will change and you will become curvier. I think your buttocks with be nicely enhanced and your love handles diminished. I do think, however, that your tummy will be suboptimal. You likely will have some degree of loose skin and abdominal bulging, which could be addressed later on with a tummy tuckHope this helps! Sam Jejurikar, MD

     Much of the answer will depend upon your height and any other existing medical problems that may be present.

It is important to keep in mind that board certified PS keep your safety and healthy as a priority when considering elective plastic surgery or any surgery for that matter. We know that when you BMI is >30 you are at increased risk for complications including infection, wound healing problems and blood clots (DVT/PE). You did not say your height but at 212-215lbs you are likely above a BMI of 30. Many PS will not do elective plastic surgery when you BMI is >35 while other make their cut of 30 or 32. This is just a safety thing. We don't want bad things happening to patients in an attempt to get a better shape or bigger butt. You will be left with loose skin if your abdomen is liposuctioned aggressively as we do with a BBL because you already have skin hanging down now forming a crease at your mons area. You can always get the BBL first and if the loose skin bothers you come back for a tummy tuck later. 

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!

The ideal BMI for aesthetics procedures is below 34%, but the more weight you lose the better results you will get. Reaching your weight goal prior to surgery would decrease the risks of complications during and after surgery and enhance results. You should consider loosing 20-25 pounds for better results
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired.

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

Your weight does not exclude you from being a good candidate for a BBL. Other health issues (if you have any) might. I think if you have reasonable expectations, you could get a great result. I would recommend finding a Board Certified plastic surgeon who does a lot of these procedures and who likes to do them. I hope this helps!

from your photographs it looks like you're an excellent candidate for Lipo suction and bbl. The weight of 215 is not an issue in my practice.     i have attached a link for your review were patients this large or larger or routinely done. Best regards 

You appear to be a fine candidate for BBL. You may develop a bit of skin laxity, but your shape could be improved quite a lot with liposuction around your mid section and fat transfer. You would need an in person consultation with an American board of Plastic Surgery certified surgeon, to ensure you are in good health and the procedure would be safe for you.

You look like a candidate for a BBL, but if your BMI is high ( a ratio of your height and weight) then you would be at higher risk of complications. You would have to be seen in person. Good luck.
