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. Are there any surgeons that would schedule me in for a tummy tuck? Most plastic surgeons suggest that you finish having children, get your weight within 10 pounds of your ideal weight and have a BMI less than 30 before undergoing an abdominoplasty with repair of the stretched out abdominal muscles and liposuction of selective areas, in order to achieve the best long term cosmetic result with the least potential complications. Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do without seeing photos and more importantly without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California.

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.
