Bmi too high for breast augmentation and tummy tuck. I am 5’5 and 200 lbs, I am trying very hard to get to 180 but it is not happening. My question is why can I not have a procedure done? My weight is not just in my abdomen it is all over.

Answer: BMI There are many factors when considering if someone is a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover. BMI is just one of them. Those that have a BMI of over 30 carry an increased risk of certain complications such as poor wound healing, seroma and infection. Being at an ideal weight also allows your surgeon the opportunity to maximize your results. Sometimes patients are still candidates for surgery despite a BMI above 30 but each case must be evaluated individually. I encourage you to meet with a few board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your concerns and goals for surgery.
