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.

Answer: Weight Loss and Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. A BMI of 30 or below is preferred to avoid the increased risk of complications during and after surgery. I advise my patients being at your ideal weight will give the best outcome. I would encourage you to start a proper diet and exercise routine to help get to your goal and then consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you.
