Are there any weight restrictions for having a mommy makeover? I'm 36 years old 5'8" and 220lbs mother of two kids. I've been wanting to have it done for so long. I've lost about 50 lbs in the past few years and i'm super active at the gym a few times a week doing heavy weights and decent cardio. I like the way my legs and arms look. I just need help with my belly and breasts. Thank you!
Answer: Safe weight for surgery The safest weight for surgery is a bmi height to weight ratio of under 35. In some cases outcomes are better if your bmi is 30 or less but this depends on body type and goals. Losing 50 lbs is awesome! Your current bmi is 33. Visit with a few ps in your area to learn more about options and whether surgery now vs later is best. Good luck!

Answer: Weight BMI (Body Mass Index) is one factor when considering if someone is a candidate for a Mommy Makeover. Those with a BMI over 30 are at higher risk of complications such as infection, poor wound healing, and seroma. Based on the information provided your BMI is 33.4. A weight loss of 25 pounds would bring you to a BMI under 30.

Answer: Weight restrictions for a Mommy Makeover? Hello and thank you for your question.Congratulations on your weight loss. In my practice, we will not perform surgery on patients with a BMI of 40 or over. Yours is about 34, so that alone would not preclude you from undergoing surgery. If you do intend to lose more weight, you should be within 10 pounds of your goal weight before proceeding with surgery.I recommend that you seek consultations with a board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.Best wishes,Dr. Vath

Answer: Within 10-15 Pounds Congratulations on your hard work paying off! I typically recommend patients be within 10-15 pounds of their goal weight, below a BMI of 30, and done having children, prior to having abdominoplasty surgery. These qualifiers ensure you will get the best result with the least amount of risks. Best of luck and hope this helps!
