I have had four children I want to put somethings back together. I want a breast reduction and tummy tuck. After having my last two children my stomach and breast are not so appealing to the eyes but I keep getting told my BMI is to high. I have always been solid in weight, it’s not all in my stomach. I’m 5’5” and 223. I just want my shape back, I lost my curves plus the plumpness of my breast

Answer: Mommy Makeover So, to start out, your BMI is a little high @ 37, you ideally would want it to be no higher than 30 to decrease your healing, anesthesia risk, etc. There are a lot of options to get you to an ideal weight so you can proceed to your dream body. Feel free out to reach out to my office and we can go over details. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-8383-2455

The combination of procedures typically focuses on your breasts and abdomen and might include a tummy tuck, a breast procedure such as a lift, augmentation or reduction, and liposuction of the leg, arms, hips, or waist.Pregnancy and childbearing can leave you with stretched skin, weak muscles, or extra fat that does not improve with diet or exercise.

Answer: Mommy Makeover BMI Thank you for your question. For the mommy makeover procedure, you would need to meet the Body Mass Index (BMI) requirement and be cleared for surgery by your doctor. The BMI is based on your height and weight. At my practice, the max BMI limit for this combo procedure is 33. Based on the information you provided, your BMI is 37.1 and do not meet our BMI requirement, which means you do not qualify for surgery at this time. Since you are over the BMI limit, I would recommend consulting with your primary care physician on a proper diet for you to bring down your BMI in order to be able to undergo the procedure. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take Care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon
