Tummy tuck on obese patients
BMI 80 too high
First of all I would verify that your BMI is actually 80. If so, this is a huge health threat.
Bariatric surgery would be a good thing to explore. (M. Scott Haydon, MD, Austin Plastic Surgeon)

Tummy tuck with a BMI of 80?
Tummy tuck surgery on obese patients
Absolutely not. You are not a candidate for a tummy tuck. You need to lose a significant amount of weight before tummy tuck is considered. I would suggest that you lose the weight by exercising and changing your nutritional intake significantly. If you are unable to do so then you should look into Bariatric surgery. (Donald M. Brown, MD, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon)

A person with a BMI of 35 or higher should lose weight before having a tummy tuck. The post-operative risks increase significantly the higher your BMI is. My recommendations would be to look into weight loss surgery. (Leo Lapuerta, MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)

Tummy Tuck with a BMI of 80
I would not recommend a tummy tuck with a BMI of 80. The risks far outweigh the benefits. It is far too dangerous to be put under anesthesia and the complications could be life threatening. I would consider loosing weight before having a tummy tuck. It is best to be at your goal weight for the best possible results. (Elsa M. Raskin, MD, Greenwich Plastic Surgeon)
