Answer: BMI before tummy tuck Long story short...use 5’1 because that will only help your results. If you want the long story keep reading...BMI is a general relation between height and weight. It doesn’t account for whether you have more muscle or fat. One of my employees is super fit and muscular with low body fat, but she falls in the “obese category” for BMI. BMI also doesn’t reflect how much fat is above or below the muscle. Surgery only removes fat above the muscle layer. Finally, fat has less blood flow than muscle or skin, so the more fat you have at the time of surgery, the higher your risks of wound healing complications and fluid collections. I suggest losing as much weight as possible (in a healthy way!) before surgery to maximize your results and minimize your risk of having complications.

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.
