In general, overall health as well as BMI and body habitus should all be used to determine appropriateness of the candidate.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA
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 tolose fat from the areas where you have more than enough, while adding that samefat to the areas where you do not have enough! That way both the donor and therecipient sites improve. I have been doing buttock implant surgery for 20+years with very nice results and few complications. Nonetheless, I do nowrecommend BBL to patients who have sufficient donor site fat to achieve aresult that meets their expectations. I have found that we can transfer a muchgreater volume of fat than the volume of implant that we can place into theinter-muscular pockets that I use (beneath the Gluteus Maximus and above theGluteus Medius & Minimus muscles. In rare cases, we can even place animplant at a later date to maximize volume. Fat can be placed throughout thebuttocks region while gluteal implants are used in the upper buttocks. I do notplace buttock implants where my patient would sit on them because that wouldincrease the risk of complications. Good luck!

Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. After liposuction, the areas treated are not likely to regain fatty fullness, as many fat cells have been removed. These areas have reduced fat storage capacity. However, if weight gain occurs, the fat will be mostly s...

Hi... thank you for the question and photos... this will depend in what are you expecting, if you want to reshape it these is some fat that can be harvested, but if you want to increase volume, i suggest you the use of buttock silicone implants.
