Answer: TT and BBL candidate Dear TeamMe2016, congrats on the weight loss! Generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a tummy tuck, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. Your BMI should be at least 30. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Tummy tuck / DBL Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for full tummy tuck with intense liposuction to improve your body contour and get better curves especially in your laterals and waist and Dominican Butt lift taking the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection. Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Candidacy for TT and BBL? Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, you appear to be a candidate for BBL and abdominoplasty. Your BMI (body mass index weight in kg. / square of height in meters) is 32.28 (you can find body mass index calculators on the internet). This is in the obese category. We have found that if your BMI is > 30, the cosmetic result will be less than optimal and if > 35, there is increased operative risk.If you are comfortable with your present weight, you may consider BBL but if you are able to drop 10 lbs. prior to surgery, it may improve the cosmetic result.Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes...

Answer: Am I good candidate to have surgery me for a plus size tummy tuck and BBL? Thanks for your question. You appear to be a good candidate for a tummyu tuck along with liposuction and BBL. I would recommend you to lose a few more pounds to get as close to your goal weight as possible. The closer you are to your ideal weight the better your results 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. A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Am I good candidate to have surgery me for a plus size tummy tuck and BBL? (photos) With a BMI of 32.3 you are certainly on the right track to having a safe and successful TT and BBL. Losing additional pounds will enhance results and reduce the risks of complications during and after surgery. A TT addresses both the loose skin and the full length of the abdominal wall which includes repair of the muscles to give a nice, flat youthful contour to the abdomen. The TT also creates a more youthful belly button. Liposuction, along with the BBL, will allow you to have stubborn fat resistant to exercise and diet removed from unwanted areas (stomach, thighs, back) and also result in a waist as small as possible. A smaller waist may make the buttocks more conspicuous, but definition will not change.Recommend that you have the lipo and BBL performed first; about six months later, have the TT.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
