Will I be denied surgery for based on my BMI?

A BMI under 30 is acceptable by most, if not all, plastic surgeons. If your BMI (body mass index) is higher than 30 or 35, you may need to gain weight prior to surgery, depending on your surgeon’s criteria or other health issues you may have. The lower your BMI going into surgery, the lower your risk of complications such as infection and DVT (deep vein thrombosis or blood clot).

Costs can vary based on time of surgery. A person with a higher BMI will typically require a longer surgery time, therefore a higher cost.

I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes with your mommy makeover procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. The lower your BMI the better. In my practice, I would recommend a BMI of 30 or less for mommy makeover. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon
for a full evaluation and advice. Best,
