I think in your case weight loss is critical. You should choose a BC PS and develop a plan for your weight loss prior to your body contouring surgery. Dr. ES
I think that you will get a better result if you lose weight first. I think that if you lose about 70 lbs or so you will have fewer complications as well. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Right now your BMI is 40 and it needs to be 33 or less, for you to be considered a good candidate for plastic surgery.l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and the best options for you.Good luck :)
Hi. Thank you for your question. With a weight of 270lbs and a height of 5'9, your current BMI (Body Mass Index) is 39.87. That is a morbid obesity state. Specifically a obesity class 2 (almost class 3, which starts at 40, and is the top level). You need special care of your weight. Please visit a nutrition specialist, or if diet is not enough for you, consider bariatric surgery first as a long term solution. You will always have time for a aesthetic plastic procedure at the end. Good luck
At 270 pounds and 5'9" you are very overweigth. You need to lose weight and then be evaluated for the BBL. You may need a nutritionist to hepl you lose weight. After weight loss you should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with extensive experience in performing the BBL.Good luck!

Thank you for your pictures. You should follow your PS's advice on this matter. I do not recommend that for my patients. Dr. ES
I typically transfer at least 1000 cc if not 1200 cc to 1500 cc per buttock. I perform about 500 Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure. You do not want to have to do...
About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.
Sitting on the buttocks for prolonged periods of time may predispose to fat necrosis or resorption and diminish results. This applies to humans everywhere. 5 liters is the safe upper limit...
I would wait for 3 months or so, because the size of the buttocks will decrease. 900 cc is not a huge amount of transfer either. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
