I have a BMI of 29.9 will I be denied for my mommy makeover? Do plastic surgeons charge extra fees or refuse service according to your BMI?
Answer: Will I Be Denied Surgery Based On My BMI? BMI's over 30 tend to have more complications than those under 30. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of multiple reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries all folded into one. Taking unnecessary chances of complications is never a good idea when doing elective surgery. On the other hand, proceeding with a Mommy Makeover in a patient with a BMI slightly over 30 who is highly motivated, in good health, and with a great support group would not be an inappropriate decision. The short answer to your question is a BMI is only one of the many variables a highly trained Board Certified plastic surgeon takes into consideration when deciding if a Mommy Makeover is the right surgery for any prospective patient.

Answer: Plastic surgery and 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).

Answer: BMI less than 30 for mommy makeover A BMI of 29.9 is not a contra indication for a mommy makeover. I would begin with your breasts first. If you do the abdomen first it will pull the breasts lower making it difficult to raise the breasts as high as possible. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time, a tummy tuck can be performed. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
