Hello, I'm interested in a mommy makeover and curious on BMI requirements. I'm 5'5.5" and 250lb. I would love a breast reduction and lift, as well as a tummy tuck. Not sure if I need muscle repair. Is it possible to get any of this covered by insurance with my BMI? I feel it would be so much easier to exercise without my apron in the way or feeling like I'm going to get knocked unconscious by my breasts if I don't wear at least two sports bras.

Answer: I'm interested in a mommy makeover and curious on BMI requirements? (Photos) Patients with a BMI over 40 typically do not qualify for elective plastic surgery as their risk of surgical complications are usually too high during and after surgery. Breast reductions which are medically necessary (i.e. you suffer back, shoulder, and neck "pain" with DOCUMENTED medical attention over a period of a YEAR) are typically covered by medical insurance. Your weight may not restrict you from having the BR. While recovering from your BR, work with your PCP and/or a trainer to discuss exercises you will be able to do without experiencing pain. Your main focus should be on improving your health and losing weight to reach a BMI of 35 or less to become a candidate for a TT with diastasis recti repair.
