I am still in the process of losing weight. I don’t want to schedule a consultation until I am closer to a healthy weight and bmi. I was just wondering when the time comes, which type of tummy tuck would I best benefit from? I carry literally all of my weight in my abdomen due to insulin resistance which is being monitored and is stable. I have no butt so I would like a Brazilian butt lift too if it is within budget but the abdomen is the most important.

Answer: BMI must be 32 or lower You will need a circumferential lift that includes your abdomen and back. This would need to be done in 2 stages. I would begin with the abdomen and then do the back. However, you need a BMI of 32 or lower to undergo this surgery. You may want to consult with a bariatric surgeon if you are having trouble losing weight. I always recommend a low fat diet, core exercises such as sit-ups, planks, pilates and start wearing an abdominal binder.

Answer: What type of Tummy Tuck? Thanks for your question. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with your plastic surgeon once you reach your weight goals. In my clinic I follow recommendations of not performing elective surgery on anyone with a BMI greater than 32. Your body will change with weight loss- you will lose subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. At that time you will be able to see which abdominoplasty options would be best for you (traditional abdominoplasty, lipoabdomionplasty, etc).
