Am I too overweight to get surgery? I am 275 pounds (Photos)

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  In order to help minimize the risks of surgery, and to improve your aesthetic outcome, I would recommend weight loss prior to any surgery.  Calculate your current BMI and see how much above 30 you are.  Then extrapolate how much weight you will need to lose to reach a goal of 30.  Hope this helps.

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!
