Have I lost enough weight for a tummy tuck?

At
5’8 and 183 lbs, your BMI is 27 ½, which is acceptable for an
abdominoplasty.  Since you have had a
hysterectomy, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement.  The mesh will create a more hourglass figure
while compressing the abdominal wall, which results in early satiety and helps
maintain a reduced weight.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.Best regardsDr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Most plastic surgeons suggest that you finish having
children, get your weight within 10 pounds of your ideal weight and have a BMI
less than 30 before undergoing an abdominoplasty with repair of the stretched
out abdominal muscles and liposuction of selective areas, in order to achieve
the best long term cosmetic result with the least potential complications.
 
 Following the advice
of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do without seeing photos and
more importantly without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling
and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully
informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best
interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you
trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with
that surgeon in person.
