Answer: Can I get tummy tuck surgery with a 38 BMI? 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. As you know, recruiting other professionals such as personal trainers, nutritionists, physicians who specialize in weight loss concerns, bariatric surgeons etc. may be helpful to you. When the time is right, seeking consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be your next/best step. Best wishes.

Answer: Can I get surgery with a 38 BMI? Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Being overweight it's a disease, hence that's the first contraindication to have a surgery. Having a 38 BMI means to be in a very delicate line in life. It can cause you death if you don't do anything about it. I recommend you to make an appointment with a nutritionist and start a new lifestyle, It's very important to lose weight, because even you feel good, your body is not going to take it for more time. And that's why no respectable plastic surgeon would accept to performance a surgery in your case. Hope you can star a new lifestyle and get all the support you need. Good luck :)
