Bmi plastic surgery
BMI for TT plastic surgery
We Like to see the BMI below 130 but 125 is better. It is hard to get a nice result with a higher BMI and anything over 135 is certainly not healthy enough for the tummy tuck. (Ronald V. DeMars, MD, Portland Plastic Surgeon)
BMI Before Tummy Tuck plastic surgery
The results of your tummy tuck will be best if you are at, or close to your goal weight. A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, but it can make some people go down many sizes in their clothing.
There are doctors who will perform surgery on almost anyone with a credut card. But, it will be in your best interest from a health perspective and an aesthetic perspective to be at a healthy weight before surgery. (Michael Law, MD, Raleigh-Durham Plastic Surgeon)

As an experienced bariatric plastic surgeon, I regularly operate on patients with BMI up to 35 and my complication rate is extremely low. I occasionally operate on patients with a BMI higher than 35 but prefer not to.
The technique can be altered to adjust for higher risk patients. (Samer W. Cabbabe, MD, FACS, Saint Louis Plastic Surgeon)
The procedure will be safer, and have a better outcome at a lower BMI. Many surgeons use 30 as a cutoff, and 15-20 pounds of weight loss would get you there. Most of us prefer to see a patient at a BMI of 25 or less. That would require a loss of 45 pounds. I
t is true that tummy tucks are sometimes done on heavier patients, but it is done at elevated risk, and if later you go on to lose 45 pounds, you might need another tummy tuck! (Jourdan Gottlieb, MD, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
