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: 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.

Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for your question and photos.you need a full tummy tuck. A tummy tuck can remove loose, excess skin and fat, and tighten weak fascia. A tummy tuck can also remove stretch marks and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the bellybutton. However, a tummy tuck won't correct stretch marks outside of this area. If you've previously had a C-section, your plastic surgeon might be able to incorporate your existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. A tummy tuck can also be done in combination with other body contouring cosmetic procedures, such as breast surgery. If you've had fat removed from your abdomen (liposuction), you may decide to have a tummy tuck because liposuction removes tissue just under the skin and fat but not any excess
