Answer: Risk At a BMI of 40 you are at a higher risk of complications from surgery. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns and explain risks. Lowering your BMI would help improve your risk category as well as giving your surgeon a better opportunity to maximize your results from liposuction.
