Question

Am I good a candidate or eligible for lipo360 &/or tummy tuck? I'm 5'0 and 168 lbs. I'm done having kids.

Robert M. Lowen, MD · Answer

Not the greatest candidate because your BMI is about 33, obese. However, it is doable.  You may not get as flat a stomach as you would like, because the intra-abdominal fat present due to your weight will make hard to tighten your front.  Here's a pic of a lady with a BMI of 30, 5'1" and 160 to give you an idea.
There's another patient in the gallery with a BMI of 33, two weeks post op and you can see the results will not be as pleasing.

If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Thanks for 1 posted photo. Your bmi is over 32 so wright loss would be helpful. But you need either 2 separate surgeries in office operating suite - either TT or lipo 360 first or either one first followed by 4-6 months fir Dr ind operation. If done in Ambulatory center or outpatient hospital setting then can combine both surgeries
