Will doctors perform a BBL on a plus size woman?

Question

I'm considering a BBL and Lipo. Will doctors consider surgery on a woman who is 250lbs?

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
To be a candidate for plastic surgery, in general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Waigjt by itself is generally not a good indicator whether someone is a candidate for either liposuction or fat transfer.Fat distribution is much more important.Without an examination it's not possible to give you an accurate assessment.People at 250 pounds often have liposuction with very good results including fat transfer.

Yes, in appropriately prepared patients, we will perform BBL in a heavy person. The beautiful thing about BBL is that it allows you to
lose fat from the areas where you have more than enough, while adding that same
fat to the areas where you do not have enough! That way both the donor and the
recipient sites improve. I have been doing buttock implant surgery for 20+
years with very nice results and few complications. Nonetheless, I do now
recommend BBL to patients who have sufficient donor site fat to achieve a
result that meets their expectations. I have found that we can transfer a much
greater volume of fat than the volume of implant that we can place into the
inter-muscular pockets that I use (beneath the Gluteus Maximus and above the
Gluteus Medius & Minimus muscles. In rare cases, we can even place an
implant at a later date to maximize volume. Fat can be placed throughout the
buttocks region while gluteal implants are used in the upper buttocks. I do not
place buttock implants where my patient would sit on them because that would
increase the risk of complications. Good luck!
