Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift & Tummy Tuck BMI Thanks for your question. At my practice, the max Body Mass Index (BMI) limit for a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) and tummy tuck is 33. The BMI is based on your height and weight. Going by the height and weight you provided, you do not meet our BMI requirement. Since you are over the BMI limit, I would recommend consulting with your primary care physician on a proper diet for you to bring down your BMI in order to be able to undergo the procedure. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take Care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon

Answer: Tummy Tuck with BBL Thank you for your question and photos! You appear to be a good candidate for the procedures you are inquiring about. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. To build up, shape or accent your natural curves, you can transfer your own fat to your buttocks and hips. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals.

Answer: BMI of 42: am I a candidate for tummy tuck/extended tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift? I currently do not offer tummy tuck for your BMI range. The risk of complications is higher and I do not want to put my patients at risk.

Answer: BMI 42 At your current BMI you are not a candidate for the procedures you are wanting. Those with a BMI above 30 have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, seroma, infection, and less than optimal results. You will need to lose weight before considering surgery. Understanding that this can be hard for some people, you may want to visit with a personal trainer or dietician for assistance.
