I would like a Tummy tuck, Lipo, and BBL. My BMI is 37.4 are there any doctors that would perform this procedure?

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.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I appreciate
your question.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 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!

Hi. It has been demonstrated that performing surgery with BMI above 35.0 more than triples the risk of complications, such as wound dehiscence, infection, thromboembolism, and so forth. You have to take into account that plastic surgery procedures are not weight losing procedure, they are to give a better body contour. My recommendation is that you lose enough weight to achieve a BMI of at least 35.0; or if you are unable to do so, consider first weight control solutions (as bariatric surgery) first, and then proceed with plastic surgery.When you do reach that goal,  remember to always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. And remember, if you keep looking, you'll eventually find someone who agrees with surgery. Before you proceed, remember that your overall safety is first.

Many plastic surgeons perform all of these procedures and the Dominican republic seems to be a hotbed for these procedures.Many plastic surgeons will perform the procedures at the same time.My preference is to do the liposuction with the BBL first, let the patient recover and do the abdominoplasty as a second stage procedure.I find the results are much better and the recovery is hard enough with either one of the procedures.Most plastic surgeons ask patients to avoid sleeping on their back after a BBL. This is virtually impossible after an abdominoplasty.
