A Mother of 2 with a 3 year old and 10 months, I really want to get a mommy make over! I tried everything and all the doctors I went to for the procedure stated that I'm too over weight!
Answer: I'm 240 lbs, 5'5 height and wondering can I get a tummy tuck, fat transfer/liposuction?? A body mass index greater than 30 increases the risk of complications. If you're interested in having an abdominoplasty surgery with fat transfer you should make sure that your BMI is less than 30. If you have a goal weight then make sure that you reach your goal weight prior to surgery. Losing weight before surgery allows your surgeon to remove more excess skin and tighten your abdominal wall more easily. It will give you the best chance of having long-lasting results.

Answer: Safety You are a wonderful candidate for a Tummy Tuck to get rid of the saggy skin on your abdomen. A nice and tight muscle repair will make your abdomen flatter and your waist smaller and tapered. BUT definitely losing weight will be requested because of safety (BMI under 30)You have to understand your life and health are our priority and I do not believe you want to end up with complications neither do we as surgeons. So, do not be discouraged. It is our genuine concern to achieve the best result and the safest procedure. Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Tummy tuck with fat transfer/liposuction Just remember that you'll get the best possible surgical result in the safest way possible when you are closest to your ideal weight. While it may not be practical for you to get down to your "ideal weight", I would still suggest you set a weight loss goal and see if you can achieve it within a predetermined amount of time. Good luck!

Answer: TT and BBL Hi, thanks so much for posting your pictures and for your inquiry, you are a very good candidate for both procedures, but in order to proceed with caution and safely, you will need to be as close to your ideal weight as possible, that not only would give you a more dramatic and beautiful result, but will reduce the risks that the surgery will imply, I would suggest to have a virtual (Skype) or an in person consultation so you can discuss thoroughly your concerns, options and expectations. Good Luck in your PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon
