I have gone to a consultation before just to be told i had to lose weight before any procedure because my bmi is 37.4 and i was told under 38 i can have a tummy tuck and lipo. Just to be turnd down... what sholud i do
Answer: My bmi is 37.4 can i still have a tummy tuck and lipo all in the same procedure? If you are healthy and at a safe weight, you can have the combination performed by an expert at both procedures who can hold anesthesia time to about 4 hours. BMI is not the only factor.

Answer: Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty/Liposuction/High Definition Procedures/Tummy Tuck Revision I appreciate your question. For health and safety reasons, best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Candidate for Tummy Tuck and Lipo Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) is a plastic surgery procedure designed to flatten the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, and to tighten the abdominal wall. Women and men who have excess skin and/or fat around the abdomen which does not respond to diet and exercise are candidates for abdominoplasty. Many patients complain that they cannot flatten their abdominal muscles through exercise, which also means a tummy tuck may be right for them. Abdominoplasty candidates have: · excess abdominal skin which may sag · a disproportionate or protruding abdomen · weakened or separated abdominal muscles · excess fat concentrated in the abdomen Other tummy tuck patients may recently have lost a lot of weight and need to have excess skin and tissue removed. Many women choose to have an abdominoplasty following pregnancy. Older patients may be candidates for a tummy tuck due to reduced skin elasticity, family traits, age, immobility.

Answer: BMI of 37 and a tummy tuck There are different criteria for a patient's maximum BMI and these criteria often vary by surgical venue (hospital vs. outpatient surgicenter.) My general preference is for a patient's BMI to be 35 or less. Best of luck.
