I think in your case weight loss is critical.  You should choose a BC PS and develop a plan for your weight loss prior to your body contouring surgery.

I think that you will get a better result if you lose weight first.  I think that if you lose about 70 lbs or so you will have fewer complications as well.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Right now your BMI is 40 and it needs to be 33 or less, for you to be considered a good candidate for plastic surgery.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and the best options for you.
Good luck :)

Hi. Thank you for your question. With a weight of 270lbs and a height of 5'9, your current BMI (Body Mass Index) is 39.87. That is a morbid obesity state. Specifically a obesity class 2 (almost class 3, which starts at 40, and is the top level).

	You need special care of your weight. Please visit a nutrition specialist, or if diet is not enough for you, consider bariatric surgery first as a long term solution. You will always have time for a aesthetic plastic procedure at the end.

	Good luck
