I’m scheduled for a tummy tuck I’m May, my BMI needs to be at 36. My weight is 195 and my height is 5’1 1/2, when calculating my BMI I should I put my height as 5’1 or 5’2?
Answer: When measuring my height for BMI should I round up or down? Hello, thanks for the questions.MBI are the measures or parameters that indicate more or less if it is possible to undergo surgery or treat with a nutritionist until you have an adequate value in your weight in relation to height, in order to perform the procedure that the patient needs. They are norms established with the purpose of knowing if it is apt or not, with the purpose of security and the welfare of the patient. One more or one less does not determine that your PS is the one who will decide the best for you. Thank you and I hope that my answer will help you a lot. Good luck.Member of the International Society of Aesthetic for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ISAPS)

Answer: BMI for Tummy Tuck BMI is a very loose measurement. However, it is often the custom to round down for height. The manner that your weight is distributed is also important. Your surgeon will be best able to guide you as he/she knows you and the scope of surgery.
