I'm 5'1" 167 pounds. My ideal weight is 120 pounds. I plan on exercising and dieting before I do my mommy makeover, but I just want to know what weight I can do the the surgery? I heard that you should have 20 pounds so the lipo works better. I'm probably going to get a tummy tuck, lipo and breast augmentation with my makeover. Help?

Answer: When to do a Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question. I always recommend that my patients are as close to their goal weight as possible before having surgery so they get the best results. I would need to examine you in person to tell you how much weight you should lose before having a tummy tuck and liposuction to get the best results. But I do recommend you go ahead and consult with a board certified plastic surgeon now so that you can plan ahead for your Mommy Makeover. Determining how much weight to lose now will help you set a plan of action so you are ready and motivated for your Mommy Makeover! Good luck!

Answer: Ideal Weight and Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question. Your candidacy for a cosmetic surgical procedure (including a mommy makeover) with regards to weight actually has to do more with your BMI than just the number on the scale. If you are actively loosing weight or planning on loosing a significant amount of weight, I would recommend waiting until your weight has stabilized before undergoing a mommy makeover. With that said, please schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is well experienced in body contouring and mommy makeover procedures. The best advice will come after an in-person physical exam and thorough discussion of your concerns and cosmetic surgery goals. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Answer: How much weight to lose before a mommy makeover? There is not a certain weight that you need to obtain prior to having a mommy makeover. The main thing is to be at a stable weight that you are happy with.An abdominoplasty allows the surgeon to remove skin and tighten the abdominal wall. If you were to lose a significant amount of weight after a tummy tuck, you may be left with excess skin and a tummy that is not as tight as you would like. Being at your goal weight will allow you to have a result after surgery that you can anticipate and should be long-lasting if you maintain your goal weight.
