According to BMI standards, I'm a 46 at 5'2". I just want to look smoother in jeans & desire a tummy tuck/liposuction. Are there any plastic surgeons who have experience working with patients over a BMI of 40? If so, how did the procedure go? No diseases/ health issues. No medications. No previous surgeries. I keep hearing about "be closer to your ideal weight". My ideal weight is not ever to be thin. My ideal "look" is to have a smaller waist in proportion to my hips & the pannus removed.

Answer: Plus size tummy tuck? Most plastic surgeons suggest that you finish having children, get your weight within 10 pounds of your ideal weight, and have a BMI less than 30 before undergoing an abdominoplasty with repair of the stretched out abdominal muscles and liposuction of selective areas, in order to achieve the best long term cosmetic result with the least potential complications.

These include but limited to, pulmonary embolus, deep venous thrombosis, delayed wound healing and increase infection rate.Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Tummy Tuck and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon.
