Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the loose skin on the abdomen, I would recommend an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, to this area. Liposuction alone would only worsen the loose skin. An abdominoplasty would tighten the abdominal muscles as well as get rid of excess fat and skin. A breast lift could be performed with or without an implant, depending on your preference and your exam. BBL could possibly be performed as well. I do agree with my colleagues that losing weight prior to surgery will help avoid complications and will give you a much better cosmetic result, so if you can do this in a healthy way and can keep the weight off, I would recommend that route. Best of luck.
Thanks for your question! To get the best result possible, I would suggest losing some weight prior to surgery. At your current weight, we wouldn't be able to safely operate on you in an out-patient surgery center. I think that if you are able to lose some weight and get to a BMI of 35 or lower, you will be much happier with your end results. Good luck!
Mommy Makeovers refer to abdominalplasty (tummy tuck) and breast augmentation. I always suggest that you start with diet and exercise to get to your ideal weight before having the procedures. You will need to have a BMI
The most important thing that surgeons want for their patients is safety for the patient. It is recommended that patients get to a BMI of around 30 to have safe surgery or you may have complications. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to find what options are available to you. Good luck.
Hello and thank you for the question. Your weight and height will determine your body mass index (BMI). Ideally, you would like your BMI to be less than 30, however, this decision is individualized based on your overall health status and what procedure you are having among others. The closer you are to your ideal body weight, the better the results of the surgery and the less likelihood of perioperative complications. Your current BMI is 40 I would try to lose some weight first prior to any body contouring procedure. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon
BMI is just one measure of your fitness for surgery; current health is also important. In my practice I look for a BMI approximating 30 to lessen the risks of complications during and after surgery and to enhance the results of the procedures. A BMI of 35 (yours is 42) is probably the upper limit that a plastic surgeon would consider for this procedure. It is best to be within 10 pounds of your weight goal for three months prior to the MM. Losing 60 pounds would allow you to achieve a BMI of 31.3.
Thank you for your question and pictures you will always find someone to do a procedure for for you but based on your BMI your complication rate is greater and your result will be compromised. What I recommend is you lose weight first and get to your ideal body weight and then seek a BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON TGAT IS CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY.

It is best to arrive at ideal/healthy weight first prior to undergoing body contouring procedures. At which time - you can set up in person consultation with a Board Certified PS and evaluate your goals.
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately the risks of surgery at this point outweigh the benefits and I would recommend following diet and lifestyle changes to first lose weight naturally before entertaining future surgeries such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, etc. Hope this helps.
