I am 5'7 and weigh 275lbs. I had a tummy tuck and lipo a year ago but gained about 20lbs since. I am currently taking phentermine 37.5 to help loose some weight. I would like to get a breast augmentation but am concerned that my weight or BMI might prevent me from doing so.

Answer: Weight Everybody has their own criteria. IMO, you are too heavy for a breast augmentation. The implants would not 'show' through. The surgery is much more difficult and costs more due to the extra time required. The results are also less desirable because the implants aren't really able give the shape/volume that you want them to. You would be much better served to lose the weight first, get to a BMI of less than 30, and then have your surgery. You will be much happier with the results. Best.

However, losing as much weight as possible until you are as close to your ideal body weight will allow you to have the best result possible.
