I would like to know if I could get a tummy tuck (or a mommy makeover) with a BMI of 28? I carry most of my weight around my tummy following 2 c sections, 5 and 6 years ago. I lost 3 stone in weight, and I’ve now plataued for the last six months, despite going to the gym and eating healthily. (I’ll never be skinny, and I’m ok with that!) Judging from my photos attached, am I a candidate for tummy tuck/ mommy makeover?

Answer: Tummy Tuck? Thank you for your question and providing photos. Based on the photos you appear to be a very good candidate for a tummy tuck. Your BMI is in a good range. I would recommend you consult with a BC PS. Best of luck

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, skin laxity, and history of 2 c-sections, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. A BMI of 28 is fine for this surgery. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
