How much do you have to weigh to get a mommy makeover?

Losing weight is more complicated as a single mom.  Congratulations on the 30 pounds you have already lost. Being close to your goal weight with a BMI of 30 or lower facilitates the best long-term results, healing, and safety of the MM procedure. It is best overall to have reached a stable, safe weight that can be maintained after the MM. Losing weight after the MM could compromise the body contouring and skin tightening.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and congratulations on your current weight loss!  In order to minimize surgical and post-surgical complications, while maximizing your cosmetic appearance, it is best to be at a BMI of 30 or below.  Hope this helps.

It is recommended for elective plastic surgery that you have a BMI under 30.  The reason is your safety.  Those with a BMI over 30 have a higher risk of complications from surgery such as infection and poor wound healing.  I encourage you to continue your weight loss journey.  You're off to a good start!
