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)

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.

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,
