Lipo 360 and Tummy Tuck. Is a BMI of 40 a strict cut off for these procedures?

kmeadows8
I am interested in getting a tummy tuck and 360 lipo as well as a breast reduction. I know most doctors have a cut off BMI of 40 but is this a strict cut off? I carry most of my weight in my abdomen with so much loose skin after weight loss and having a c-section. But I also weight lift and the BMI number seems like it can be thrown off by factors such as that. I have a consultation in January so hoping to lose a little more weight prior to that. Current BMI is 42. Height 5’3. 240 lbs.
