Im looking for some info on a tummy tuck would I be able to get one at 240 pounds I'm 5'11. I also have factor 5 which i know factors in greatly. I have lost 80 pounds In a year and still losing weight and working out but this hanging stomach holds me back at times. I do plan on losing a little more weight. Unless I have to lose alot more before I'm able to get the surgery
Answer: Tummy Tuck at 240 pounds - is it possible? Congratulations on your weight loss thus far. I do recommend continuing to loose weight before surgery this will decrease your surgical risks and improve your final result. Your BMI is currently 33 if you could get that down to 30 it would be ideal. Regards,

Answer: Tummy Tuck at 240 pounds - is it possible? Based on your photos, weight loss, and height, a tummy tuck at this time may be appropriate. However, a discussion with an experienced Board Certified plastic surgeon would be the best way to start to see if more weight loss would be a good idea. I would suggest a combination of truck liposuction and a No-Drain Tummy Tuck. See link below for examples.

Answer: Weight loss prior to abdominoplasty Congratulations on losing 80 pounds! That is an incredible achievement and you are to be commended. My advice is keep on losing. And I say that knowing that this is easier said than done. However, he still had a significant amount of fat on the inside, surrounding organs, which you're surgeon will not be able to affect. If anything, it will limit his or her ability to "cinch the girdle "and improve the contour. Generally speaking, we like to hold off on abdominal contouring until the BMI is under 30. As well, the factor V is a risk already, and the more weight you lose, the more safe your procedure will be.Keep up the fantastic work!Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Tummy tuck Studies suggest that patients with a BMI > 30 tend to have more complications with body contouring surgery. I would suggest getting to a stable weight and maintaining that weight for several months prior to having surgery. You will likely be disappointed with your result is you continue to lose weight after surgery.

Answer: Possibility of Tummy Tuck Some surgeons will have a BMI cutoff for patients desiring elective surgery. It has been shown in plastic surgery studies that as BMI increases, so do complication rates. Another thing to consider before surgery, in order to get the best result, you should reach your goal weight and maintain it for a few months before undergoing body contouring surgery.
