I am 5'4 & weigh 170 lbs. I am of a large frame & have a straight figure, I gain & lose weight evenly. Anyway, my goal weight is 130 lbs. Ive already lost 25 lbs & about to start my secound round of hCG this Saturday with the goal of losing a mínimum of 20 lbs, leaving me 20 lbs shy from my goal weight. Im trying to figure out what weight I should be before undergoing plastic surgery. Im interested in the following procedures: Breast Aug & Lift, Tummy Tuck & Lipo & possible Brazilian Butt Lift.

Answer: Within 10% of ideal body weight is best. There’s no question that being close to your ideal body weight improves the results from Mommy Makeover surgery.It also decreases the potential for complications with this type of surgical procedure.For these reasons, we prefer that patients be within 10% of their ideal body weight at the time of surgery. Your pictures suggest that you are an excellent candidate for Mommy Makeover surgery.If you lose additional weight, it probably wouldn’t significantly impact your final result.It’s important that your weight be stable for at least six months prior to surgery. It you’re considering Mommy Makeover surgery, it’s important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area.This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.

Answer: Goal weight before surgery. As a general rule, one would like their patient to be within 30 lbs of their goal weight. The rate of complications, (surgical and anesthesia), is less. The result usually does not have to be revised as much, (as opposed to someone who had an operation and then lost 60 lbs). Your pattern of weight loss is a bit disturbing. You have to have good eating and exercise habits or the mommy makeover will be a waist of time and resources. You also need calories, protein and vitamins, (in the form of vegetables/fruit) to heal up a wound. Please speak with your board certified plastic surgeon. Together you will come up with a good plan.
