I’m 200lbs, 5’4 & desperate for a tummy tuck – please advise

Surgery Candidate
Sep 22, 2022

Most plastic surgeons have a BMI cutoff for safe surgery. And it is not about the surgeon not being able to do the case, it is about safety under anesthesia. However, I often see your case with weight loss patients and I have a higher BMI cutoff for massive weight loss patients, pending your exam and your other medical history.Based on your photos alone, Id say you are a good candidate, but again, I would need to perform and exam and review your medical history with you.I hope this helps!

I want to go bigger but stay with the moderate profile – options?

it all depends on anatomy
Sep 19, 2022

A lot of how we chose implants is based on the base width of your breast. The same size in a moderate profile will have a wider base than in a higher profile, but the same about of gel, so that is how it projects more. We choose the profile of the implant based on how wide your breast is. To go higher, but restricted to breast width, we go up in profile. The best way to decide is with your board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon, as it is based on physical exam. With gel implants,…

Are there certain exercise(s) I should do (cardio, weights, core, etc) or to avoid to not cause addi

whatever works for you!
Sep 7, 2022

You should do whatever exercise regimen works for you to achieve your goals. For everyone this can be different. For some, cardio is all they need. For others, they will plateau with cardio and need to at weight training. No specific exercise will affect your surgical outcome, but it is very great of you to get a ump start on weight loss as this will optimize your surgical outcome and ultimately will be safer to undergo elective surgery.

Female, 38, 5’5, 153lbs – recently lost over 100lbs, BodyTite or tummy tuck?

Likely would need a tummy tuck…
Sep 7, 2022

First of, I recommend you be seen in person by a board eligible/board cartified plastic surgeon for evaluation as a physical exam is usually needed to check on any muscle widening (diastasis) which is frequent after pregnancies as well as to assess the quality of skin. Based on the history of 4 pregnancies and these photos, You would likely get the best shape from a fully tummy tuck +/- lipo. The other options do minimal for skin tightening when you have this much laxity and lipo will make…

How can I keep Tummy Tuck private from family living with me?

This can be difficult…
Aug 31, 2022

We definitely understand that cosmetic surgery is private for many individuals. However, for any surgery where you received general anesthesia, someone will need to drive you to and from, and we also recommend someone stay with you the first night. You may also have significant pain, and often times you may not be able to stand up straight for a week or so. You also should not do any heavy lifting for the first few weeks. So, it may be difficult to conceal this from any in house family…

Cost of tummy tuck?

This can vary
Aug 31, 2022

Costs vary by region and even by practice. With the No Surprises Act, physicians who are out of network or do not take insurance are to inform you of any costs so there are no surprises. Our practice lists our prices on our website, and others may also. However, the best way to learn is to be evaluated by a board eligible/board certified Plastic surgeon so they can assess for mini tummy tuck, full tummy tuck, the need for added liposuction, etc, which can all change the cost.

Is there a standard for tests that need to be done before surgery & is it a legal requirement?

Depends on the physician and you
Aug 31, 2022

Every physician is a little different. For a breast augmentation, for a young healthy patient there is no preoperative labs/imaging needed in our practice. However, if you have a strong family history of breast cancer or are at the age for recommended screening mammography, we will encourage you to get this prior to surgery. As for routine labs, it its not common, but also depends on your healthy history. The best way to know is to see your board eligible/board certified plastic surgeon for…
