I previously had lap band surgery & am down about 100lbs. But I am 5'10 / 255 lbs. And that hasn't changed with diet or exercise in about a year. I am also a little "wide". I am interested in getting Lipotuck done. Pesky back fat & this huge fat curtain that just hangs over my pelvic area. My BMI currently says it is 36.6. In order for me to hit 30.8 I need to drop 40 lbs. But I've been at a plateau for a year. I don't see it happening. Can I still get the procedure done?

Answer: Weight loss before BBL Dear MrsMata,the optimal weight to have Tummy Tuck surgery is a very common question and for good reason. Having surgery before you reach your target weight can lead to suboptimal results if you were to lose more weight after surgery.

Answer: Abdominoplasty with BMI over 35 Many patients after bariatric surgery will reach a plateau after losing 80 to 100 lbs, in which the weight loss becomes more difficult. At this point, you may be a candidate for a panniculectomy, or belt lipectomy in which the excess skin and residual fatty tissue only is removed. This procedure will allow further weight loss by making it easier to exercise. After panniculectomy, when you reach your ideal body weight or BMI, additional surgery can be considered for the arms, breasts, abdomen and thighs.
