Throughout this article we’ll address the common questions with regards to a tummy tuck and what type of person is best suited for one.
Do I need a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is well suited for individuals with excess fat or skin which is leftover after a period of weight loss or following pregnancy. A tummy tuck surgery can do great things for an individual's confidence in a safe and reliable manner, as long as an individual has a healthy BMI there is a high likelihood the procedure is for you.
Individuals who are severely overweight may not be suitable candidates for a tummy tuck and may require a period of weight loss before the surgery is safe to perform.
For more information on the tummy tuck procedure, be sure to get in touch with our specialist clinic via the contact form on our website, where a trained consultant will be happy to help answer any queries or concerns you may have.
What does my BMI need to be to have a tummy tuck?
The tummy tuck procedure often requires an individual to have a BMI of less than 30, although exceptions can be made for people depending on your body type. Any BMI above 40-45 is usually deemed too high and for safety reasons, the surgery may not be able to go ahead.
Prior to surgery, individuals are often screened for other risks, depending on the type of tummy tuck to ensure the procedure is safe to continue with. For example, the thickness of the body fat is important to consider as the procedure becomes more difficult and often not as effective with thicker levels of body fat.
