My BMI is 36. I just had a consult and the doctor I went to said I need to lose 20 pounds for him to do the surgery. When I start to lose weight it comes off my legs and my breasts and I want to keep that! I just want the tummy gone and I’m ready to pay full price cash. I want a Brazilian butt lift also. I understand the results wont be 100 percent but to me any improvement would motivate and encourage me to keep improving myself! Are there Any surgeons that would go ahead and schedule me in?
Answer: My BMI is 36. Can I have a tummy tuck? A TT is certainly doable at a BMI of 36. At a BMI of 40, my anesthetist will not put you to sleep because of the increased anesthetic risk. It's really an anesthetic problem according to the criteria in your area.

Answer: BMI of 36 The reason that many plastic surgeons are reluctant to perform an abdominoplasty with fat transfer to the behind for patients with a BMI higher than 30 is that we understand that the risks of complications can be much higher than would be considered safe. Caution is a good thing. I'm sure that you can find someone to do your surgery independent of a high BMI, but would you want to? Sometimes I encounter patients who want procedures that I feel are poorly advised in their situation. Sometimes, I simply refuse. Sometimes, I ask "If I can't do what you want, what can I do to help you?". Wisdom and experience are good traits for a plastic surgeon. Consider what your plastic surgeon suggested, sounds like decent advice.

Answer: High BMI and TT Pictures might help and generally, I dont use a high BMI as a no go. Losing the weight might result in less fat to do the Brazilian.Good luck and pick a board certified plastic surgeon.
