If my BMI is a 38 would I still be a candidate for a mommy makeover?

Thank you for your question.  I believe it is best to be within 10 - 15 pounds of your ideal body weight prior to surgery for optimal results. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring for an in-person examination. Ask to see a lot of before and after pictures of their work to understand what can be achieved. Hope this helps and good luck.

You wouldn't be a good candidate for the surgery.Studies show that when the BMI is above 30 or weight is above 200, the risks of the surgery are significantly higher.Also, the result wouldn't look as good.What works better is to do the very hard work of weight loss first, and then reward yourself with the mommy makeover when your weight is close to your target level.  Then the extra loose skin that is now evident with the weight loss can be removed as well.All the best,
