Dear finelikewine,the optimal weight to have BBL is a very common question and for good reason. Having surgery before you reach your target weight can lead to suboptimal results if you were to lose more weight after surgery. Good first questions to ask yourself are: 1. Am I at my goal weight? 2. Is my weight stable? have you lost or gained more than 10lbs in the past month? What was your weight last year? 3. Are you eating a healthy diet and exercising? If you are not at your goal weight or your weight is not stable, you should hold off on surgery. If not, great! I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
