I originally wanted a bbl but I couldn’t get my BMI less then 35. I found a doctor who takes higher BMI that is board certified. I’m overall healthy and don’t have any underlying conditions . It has just been hard for me to lose weight. I was 275lbs. I’m now 250lbs and my height is 5’5. My skin is also very lose and can be pinched.

Answer: BMI From your photos and description it does not appear you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck at this time. Those with a higher BMI have increased risk of complications from surgery including seroma, infection, and poor wound healing. They also often have sub par results. I encourage you to meet with your physician about a weight loss program before considering a tummy tuck.

Answer: Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck while having a BMI of 41? (Photo Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Although each practice will have their own weight restrictions a BMI of 40+ carries significant risks and I would defer any procedure until your weight is lower. Due to the difficulty in weight loss, you may wish to consider a bariatric procedure. Best wishes.
