I am 31 years old and a mother of 3. My youngest 18months. Prior to finding out about him I was about to set up consultation for this procedure. At that time I weighed 210. I am now 300 lbs. 6ft tall. For almost 4 months now I’ve been dieting, pretty much a lifestyle change with no results other than energy increase but my weight the same. I am tired of waiting. I just don’t wont to be turned down.

Answer: My weight? I have calculated your BMI and it is 40.7. This is too high for elective surgery and you will need to lose weight. I suggest you see a professional for help. Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Answer: Will my weight prevent me from getting the mommy makeover procedure? Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, it is always best to achieve long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with body contouring surgery. In other words, the "ideal weight" for a specific patient is one where he/she feels comfortable long-term, and does not expect significant fluctuation to occur after the procedure. Achieving this long-term stable weight, will increase the safety of the operation, will likely improve the outcome of the operation, and will decrease chances that additional surgery will become necessary subsequently. In my practice, I do not ask specific patients to achieve a specific weight prior to proceeding with tummy tuck surgery. Again, I simply ask patients to achieve a long-term stable weight where he/she feels comfortable and does not expect significant fluctuation postoperatively. Personally, I do not find the use of specific numbers or BMI values applicable in all cases. In my opinion, nothing replaces in-person evaluation and individualized assessment and recommendations (based on the priority of SAFETY). Having said the above, occasional patients do benefit from panniculectomy surgery as a “jumpstart” to achieving their final goals. Best wishes.
