Lower limit of BMI range for post MWL body contouring?

Asked By:Persistent123642 in Los Angeles, California

200lbs down with a current BMI of 26.7 and a tentative goal weight that would put me around 24.3. I often see doctors discuss a maximum BMI limit, but there seems to be less discussion of an ideal BMI For body contouring (and if it might be higher than a calculated “ideal weight.” ). Is there any truth to the idea that BMI body contouring results might be better slightly above a BMI of 25 than below? It's hard to go by look alone when you have so much excess skin.
