To decrease the risks of complications during and after surgery and to ensure optimum results, you will need to lose weight to come closer to a BMI of 30 (your current BMI is 44.4) Once you get within 10 pounds of your goal weight and are able to maintain it for six months and are in good health, you would be a candidate for a BBL. If the asthma is under control as stated by your internist or managing doctor, then the BBL could be undertaken. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
In general, you are likely a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift if you have adequate fat stores in other areas to harvest for injection into the buttocks but it is also suggested that patients are eligible for a fat transfer procedure if they have a BMI below 30 . Also, patients with certain health conditions may not be suitable for the procedure due to the potential increase in risks and complications, which means that anyone interested in a BBL should firstly check with the doctor they have chosen to make sure they are in good overall health before having the procedure.In your case my dear, I would suggest you to work on losing weight at first so you avoid any kind of complication you might get from the procedure. After that, you might consider a BBL. Maybe by that time you will need a Tummy Tuck as well to remove the excess skin which loses elasticity and becomes saggy after losing weight. I believe that these operations done together would give you very satisfying results. Best regards, Ozge Egun M.D Aesthetic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
