Weight after Mommy makeover. Any suggestions?

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!

Thank you for your question.To achieve the best possible result, it is best to be at your goal weight prior to surgery. Best of luck!

I recommend that my patients be within 10 pounds of their ideal weight prior to surgery.  Following surgery, I would rather they focus on eating a nutritious diet of protein to promote healing rather than continuing to lose weight.  Suggest that you schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed these multiple procedures for a MM so that you can discuss whether additional weight loss is even necessary or advised.  All the best!

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.

For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.Therefore, you must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI and no history of diseases that increase the surgical / anesthetic risk degree.Finally, I recommend you a skilled certified plastic surgeon in body contouring surgery and experienced in cases like yours where the planned operating time is less than five hours.

Thank you for your question and photos.  I believe it is best to be within 10 - 15 pounds of your ideal body weight prior to surgery for optimal results. You appear to be an excellent candidate for your scheduled procedures. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring for an in-person examination. Hope this helps and good luck.
