5'2 200 lbs my bmi is like 37, says im obese. I really want a tt. The doc doing my surgery wants me to lose weight so that my bmi is 30 or under about 35 pounds. I don't mind my size and shape I just hate my stomach.. I'm having a lift with implants next Wednesday. And with my tt i am getting fat transfer to my butt. I work out every day,for the most part follow a diet of protein veggies water. I build muscle and not weight on the scale. Want other opinions. I want to feel good about myself.
Answer: Candidate for a Tummy Tuck Far more important than deciding if a tummy tuck is for you is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let him explain why one technique may be better than another and if you need a tummy tuck. Many board certified plastic surgeons provide a free first time consult and you should take advantage of that!See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you!I have also attached a video for a possible Tummy Tuck Candidate. #tummytuck#TT#findingthebestplasticsurgeon

Answer: Weight loss after LTA tummy tuck Most of my patients lose 10 to 15% of their total body weight after a lateral tension abdominoplasty procedure. This is due to change in fat to muscle ratio as well as abdominal wall muscle tightening which provides early satiety after the procedure. While diet and exercise is an integral part of good healthy lifestyle, I find patients after LTA are at a discreet advantage in achieving and maintaining this.

Answer: Tummy tuck It is always best to do a tummy tuck when you are as close to your ideal body weight as possible. At your BMI, you have a much higher chance of having complications such as wound healing problems that could lead to permanent deformity if they happen. I think that your surgeon is wise and clearly is thinking of your safety above hi/her own interests. You would be wise to heed the advice...you will not only get a better result, but you will be much healthier as a result.Good luck and I hope this helps!
