I am looking for a doctor to will perform on a plus size patient I am 255 lbs 5'5 and 41 never smoke drink or drugs need to get my tummy removed and lift my breast ASAP looking in miami area
Answer: Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question. Body-mass index is a way to standardize somebody’s weight for their height. Based on a height of 5’5 and a weight of 255 lb. you have a body-mass index of 42. This is considered morbidly obese and the risk of having a major complication as a result of your tummy tuck or breast lift would be unacceptably high. I would strongly recommend against shopping around for a doctor to find surgery on you until you’ve had the ability to lose the weight. This is a once in a lifetime procedure and you want to do things the right way to maximize your results and minimize your level of complications.

Answer: Mommy Makeover candidate Safety is the number one priority of your surgeon. When considering elective surgery it is recommended that a patient's BMI is 30 or below. This is for your safety during surgery as well as a successful recovery. If it is unlikely that you'll be able to achieve that goal, it is important that you realize there will be increased risk with your surgery.

Answer: Best weight for Mommy Makeover As the other Plastic Surgeons have said, it is best to be close to your ideal weight.But if this is unlikely to happen and doing the surgery will give you an incentive to lose weight and get back on your feet, I would do the surgery. You would have to understand and accept the increased risk.We might limit the initial procedure to just a tummy tuck and some liposuction.Good luck.

Answer: Mommy Makeover /Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/Tummy Tuck/Liposuction/BBL I appreciate your question. For health and safety reasons, best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!
