Which surgeons perform hourglass TT in Ontario Canada on plus size? Am I too fat to get this done? Estimated cost?

Question

I am 40yo 5' & 200lbs and can't seem to lose anymore weight. 3 children later and battling the bulge for 7yrs. Always a " thicker" girl in legs, hips and breasts. Small waist. Now major fat in stomach. Fat feels so seperated from my body. I can grab it. Pull it away and move it around. I just want stomach gone, contoured hips, cleaned up back fat(very little). Breasts need reinflation as breast feeding sucked the life out of them. My body doesn't suit my life nor face nor attitude.

Hello, in my practice I will consider performing a tummy tuck on a plus-sized person depending on their goals, overall the health, and abdominal assessment.  I usually do these procedures in hospital rather than my surgical facility because the surgery is often more extensive, and I prefer to have the patient admitted after surgery for monitoring.  A proper consult is required to determine whether the surgery is appropriate.

As long as your weight is stable, I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss the best options for you. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Hello Thank you for your question. For your surgery to be safe it would be best that you bring your BMI to 35 or lower. Once you have done that, consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to have an in person consult. The estimated cost for just a tummy tuck starts at $8500, with additional costs of $2000-$4000 if liposuction is added. Best regards

The key to good long standing result and success is to be at a stable weight. Make sure your lifestyle is such that you don't gain the weight back after if you do have surgery or you will likely be unhappy.If you can get your weight as low as possible the risks of healing from a tummy tuck will go down significantly. Safety is most important and being at a healthy weight. Good luck! Dean Vistnes.Vistnes Plastic SurgerySan Francisco Bay Area
