How much do you have to weigh to get a BBL?
BBL is an operation we perform frequently. There is not an exact number that applies to everyone. Typically best results are obtained by people that are just slightly over their ideal body weight (think 10-20 lbs).This can vary depending on muscle mass, where the subcutaneous fat is, whether a patient has had previous procedures like liposuction and to some extent desired result. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon that does these procedures all the time and discuss!
Clinical Context
Weight matters less than fat distribution. BBL results depend on how much fat sits just under the skin (subcutaneous fat) rather than deeper around internal organs, since only subcutaneous fat can be harvested and transferred. Very lean patients may not have enough donor fat to safely contour the waist and add volume to the buttocks. Your surgeon will assess your specific fat distribution, not just your weight, to determine if you're a good candidate.
