I am having trouble locating a dr that will give me a MMO due to my BMI. I am short and the majority of my weight is in my tummy area. I've struggled with weight loss for years and ant seem to get down even close to what they want for surgery. My issue is that I am perfectly healthy according to my doctors and I am happy with my body. Aside from my muscles being ruined in my stomach after pregnancy and the apron I now have. I don't mind my weight. Am I doomed here?

Answer: BMI for surgery. There are 2 types of fat, subcutaneous and visceral fat. Visceral fat is the belly fat and the one that can increase the risk of having chronic conditions as well the one that can increase the risk on surgery. It is recommended to have a 30BMI or under to get a plastic procedure done so the aesthetic result is better and done on a safer way. If the BMI is the main factor that is not letting you get the surgery there are different options ( diet plan, excrescences, bariatric consultation) so you can reach the weight goal, get the surgery with lesser risks and the final result you are looking for. Good luck!

Answer: BMI and surgery There are many factors that determine if someone is a candidate for surgery, with BMI being only one of them. For elective plastic surgery it is recommended a person has a BMI of 30 or under. Those above this threshold are at higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, seroma, and infection. This also will give your surgeon the opportunity to maximize your results. There are times when a patient will be approved for surgery at a BMI above 30, but this is determined at a consultation when the surgeon can review each patient's medical history and surgical goals.
