Body Mass Index, or BMI, is not the best indicator of candidacy for a BBL. While there are no BMI requirements at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, if a BMI is especially high or low, a patient may not be a good elective surgery candidate.
BMI on its own does not measure how much fat exists on a person’s body. For example, a patient with a perfectly healthy BMI can have plenty of fat to liposuction. However, a muscular person with little body fat and a high BMI may not have enough fat for a BBL.
