How close should I be to my goal weight before getting a BBL?

Thank you
for your question.Best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic
and restorative plastic surgery.

I think that it is important to be at your goal weight before a BBL. If you undergo a BBL and then lose weight, the fat placed in you buttocks will shrink as well.

It's generally best for patients to be at their ideal weight before cosmetic surgery.Weight-loss patients typically are not great candidates fo liposuction but as you know will need skin surgery.You may need to have fat harvested from multiple areas to do a successful Brazilian.This could include the front of the abdomen as well as your back.As you described you can have an abdominoplasty down the road.I would not count on losing 5 kg from a Brazilian.If anything you may gain a few pounds in the short-term. I suggest you consult in person with a few board-certified plastic surgeon's.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.

while it is preferable to be at your ideal weight prior to surgery, most patients are not at their ideal weight. If you want to lose about 20 pounds I would suggest losing about 10 pounds prior to surgery and lose the weight gradually after the surgery. Good luck!
