Am 80kg 5ft 4 tall undergoing tummy tuck,breast lift and bbl in 3 months. Should I loose weight before my surgery. I gained extra weight for my bbl to have a big butt.
Answer: Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty/Liposuction/Vaser High Definition Procedures/Tummy Tuck Revision I appreciate your question. For health and safety reasons, best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Should i lose weight before surgery? Thank you for your question. You are currently on a weight within the safe range with a BMI of 30. You could stay on your current weight or lose a couple of pounds and get closer to your goal weight. The closer you are to your ideal weight before surgery the better your result will be. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

In this regard, you must to have a support with a nutritionist, so you can achieve the desired goal, in the most healthy way, without incressing complications risks in the plastic surgery to perform.Kind regards

Answer: Ideal weight before surgery Thank you for your question. I would recommend speaking to your surgeon about your ideal body weight prior to surgery. Often it is recommended to reach a stable goal weight prior to having cosmetic surgery but if you are specifically gaining weight for the fat transfer procedure the surgeon might have a different suggestion.

Answer: Should I loose weight before tummy tuck surgery? Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, it is always best to achieve long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with body contouring surgery. Doing so, will increase the safety of the operation, will likely improve the outcome of the operation, and will decrease chances that additional surgery will become necessary subsequently. In my practice, I do not ask specific patients to achieve a specific weight prior to proceeding with tummy tuck surgery. I simply ask patients to achieve a long-term stable weight where he/she feels comfortable and does not expect significant fluctuation postoperatively. You may find the attached link, dedicated to patients who have experienced significant weight loss, helpful to you as you consider your options. Best wishes.
