Can I get a full tummy tuck done with BMI 40?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and I am sorry to hear of your stomach hernia difficulties.  In general it is best to be close to a BMI of 30 prior to any body contouring procedures because the risks of significant complications increases exponentially above this mark.  I higher BMI will also limit the aesthetic improvement that can be obtained.  Hope this helps.

When considering elective plastic surgery it is recommended that you have a BMI of 30 or under.  This is to keep your risk profile lower for complications such as poor wound healing and infection.  A higher BMI will also affect your surgeon's ability to maximize your results.  I hope this is helpful.
