Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover surgery? (Photos)

Thanks for your question. There is a Body Mass Index (BMI) requirement that patients must meet for the mommy makeover surgery. At my practice, the mommy makeover max BMI is 33. This is based on your height and weight. Based on the height and weight you provided, you are at 41 and do not meet our BMI requirement, which means you do not qualify for surgery at this time. Since you are over the BMI limit, I would recommend consulting with your primary care physician on a proper diet for you to bring down your BMI in order to be able to undergo the procedure. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take Care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon

Hello,
Thank you for the question and photos.
Based on your current Height and Weight, your BMI is around 41.
Ideally, in order to undergo elective cosmetic surgery such as Mommy Makeover, your BMI should be closer to 35 in order minimize the risk of post-operative complications.
It is safest to lose additional weight prior to surgery, as it will also give you a better cosmetic result and minimize the risk of wound healing complications.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz
