Did some tummy tucks and came across some articles last year that stated plus size tummy tucks aren't as big of a risk as some plastic surgeons say and I've seen some stories of big women a saying they kept looking until they finally found a doctor that would take a risk and do their surgery after being told no over and over. I've also came across a doctor in Arizona that says they specialize in plus size tummy tucks. So my question is, why is that some surgeons will do it and others won't?

Answer: Why will some surgeons do plus size tummy tuck and others won't? BMI (body mass index) should be under 35 and closer to 30 for best results and reduction of complications. A high BMI indicates that you have or may develop most of the cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, type II diabetes, stress, physical inactivity, hypertension, obesity, stress incontinence, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and a poor diet. If your medical history indicates too many risks, I will not perform the TT for the safety of the patient.Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation of your risks.
