I have scoliosis mild. I am a mother of 1 child and I am 23. I need advice on getting a TT or liposuction? I weigh 250. (photos)

Although liposuction would probably remove a sizable amount of fat it would not address the large amount of surplus skin or any abdominal wall laxity. Liposuction of the waist with an abdominoplasty would give the best result. You should consider, for your overall health, a change in diet and exercise regimen so that your excess weight can be eliminated.

Having mild scoliosis will not prevent you from having a TT or lipo, but a high BMI puts you at risk for Type II diabetes, hypertension, urinary stress, gastro esophageal reflux, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and others health issues.  Take the necessary steps to participate in an exercise program and weight reduction program to become healthy prior to any surgery.   You may qualify for weight loss surgery if your BMI is over 35 and you have a serious weight-related health problem.  Any cosmetic surgery at this point would put you at risks for complications during and after surgery.

Hello and thank you for the question. The best advice you can get is from an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. You benefit from an abdominoplasty. I would advise to lose some weight prior to any body-contouring procedure. Your weight and height will determine your body mass index (BMI). Ideally, you would like your BMI to be less than 30, however, this decision is individualized based on your overall health status and what procedure you are having among others. The closer you are to your ideal body weight, the better the results of the surgery and the less likelihood of perioperative complications. Best,

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Assuming you are an otherwise good candidate for surgery, I would first start with lifestyle changes of diet and exercise to help you lose weight naturally.  This will not only limit the risks of any procedure but will also achieve superior aesthetic results.  Once at a stable, goal weight, and a BMI under 30, surgical options can then be entertained, with a tummy tuck the most likely procedure.  Hope this helps.

First- we need to understand the relationship between your scoliosis and your lung function. Once you have clearance from your Specialist- you then need to begin a significant lifestyle change program. This will create a path to loosing perhaps 100lbs. With all of this in place and significant weight loss, your possibility of success with surgery is maximized. At present- I would not consider it

Dear kendraW96.
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a tummy tuck, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. Based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT once you reach goal weight. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question and photo's.  I would recommend a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck and possible lower body lift, however, If you plan on more children I would wait.  I also encourage you to get to your goal weight before having the procedure to get the best aesthetic result.

Judging from your weight and photos, your BMI is over 40, without actually knowing your height. You will have to lose weight and get your BMI to around 35 or less before surgery. The only procedure for you is a full tummy tuck with liposuction. This will remove the excess skin and fat as well as tighten the muscles.You would be much better off losing even more weight before the surgery or if you lose the weight after surgery, the skin will sag again. Many people become enthused about their weight and health in general and lose weight after a TT.Thank you for your question and photos, and good luck.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction and a full tummy tuck, to give you a nice tight tummy and get rid of the extra skin. 
Along with the tummy tuck, liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You improve your waist, back and flanks.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Mild scoliosis should not prevent you from being a candidate for a tummy tuck.  Before considering elective plastic surgery you will need to lose some weight.  Safety is always the number one priority in surgery.  Those with a BMI above 30 have an increased risk for surgical complications such as infection and poor wound healing.  Reducing your BMI below 30 not only addresses that concern, but also allows your surgeon to optimize your results.
