I am interested in getting a tummy tuck and 360 lipo as well as a breast reduction. I know most doctors have a cut off BMI of 40 but is this a strict cut off? I carry most of my weight in my abdomen with so much loose skin after weight loss and having a c-section. But I also weight lift and the BMI number seems like it can be thrown off by factors such as that. I have a consultation in January so hoping to lose a little more weight prior to that. Current BMI is 42. Height 5’3. 240 lbs.
Answer: Lipo 360 and Tummy Tuck. Is a BMI of 40 a strict cut off for these procedures? Hello @kmeadows8 and thank you for your question. The weight limit is only a measure to analyze how risky the surgery can be, in terms of complications that the patient could have. However, being at a BMI of 40 already puts you at high risk for a tummy tuck and liposuction. I suggest that you lose weight with a healthy diet low in fat and sugars and thus not only prepare for your surgery, but also start to create awareness to take care of your body when you're ready for your surgery.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Just Tummy tuck with lipo flanks Hola, Gracias por compartir la información, es un placer para mi responder tu pregunta. Mi recomendacion siempre es bajar al peso o IMC ideal antes de cirugia. En tu caso inmediatamente realizariamos abdominoplastia, reparacion muscular y lipo de los flankos. Seria muy peligroso estar boca abajo para hacer lipo de espalda o bbl.

Answer: BMI and Surgery Hi, thanks for your question. Typically, we recommend that your BMI be under 35 in order to safely undergo surgery. That being said, if you have already lost anywhere from 50-100lbs or more, you may be exempt from having a BMI of less than 35, but this will be largely dependent on a number of factors and on your surgeon's pre-operative guidelines.

Answer: BMI is too high for surgery at this time Your current BMI of 42 puts you at high risk for complications from surgery. The only operation that could be done safely would be liposuction since there are minimal incisions and wound healing is almost certain. I recommend you begin a low fat diet, core exercises such as sit-ups, planks, pilates and consult a bariatric surgeon.
