I had weight loss surgery so most of my weight is just hanging and it's hard on my body
Answer: Can I have a tummy tuck with a BMI of 37? A tummy tuck operation CAN be done with a BMI of 37, however, people with a BMI greater than 30 have an increased risk of complications and a decreased sense of satisfaction with the results. It would be safer for you, and your end result would be better, if you began a daily regiment of diet and exercise to reduce your weight down so your BMI is 30 or less. If you are going to have an elective procedure, be responsible for the cost of it and take time from work to recover from it, you should do everything to be sure it goes perfectly smoothly and you are very pleased with the results. Having a BMI of 30 or less will go a long ways toward helping you achieve that goal. Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy tuck Yes, you can still have a tummy tuck at your weight, but you will have more risks which will be explained during the consultation. I have done several tummy tucks on women your size and they did very well.

Answer: Body contouring after weight loss surgery I think at some point, come in and visit with a board certified plastic surgeon! Let's see what is causing your contours and higher BMI. For some patients, surgery such as a tummy tuck kickstarts a lifestyle change even more dramatically than weight loss surgery. Our office is happy to see you! Just give us a call 847-853-9900.

Answer: High risks for complications With a BMI of 37, you are at a high risk for deep vein thrombosis, pneumonia and pulmonary embolism. It is possible that you may benefit from consult with a bariatric medical physician, begin a low fat diet and core exercises such as sit-ups, planks and pilates and wear an abdominal binder. An alternative would be liposuction to help with the weight loss. 10 lbs can be safely removed at one session and repeated if necessary.
