People often decide to have a tummy tuck after weight loss, tummy tuck for loose skin due to aging, or a tummy tuck for diastasis recti or muscle separation on the abdominal area after pregnancy. But can you get a plus size tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or “plus size hourglass tummy tuck?”
Traditionally, a plus size tummy tuck has been discouraged for overweight or obese patients. Having an increased BMI can make the risk of complications higher. However, when it comes to a plus size tummy tuck, patients should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and should discuss their goals with Dr. Parkins. That means there is no specific “number” that applies to every person. In general, however, know that the higher your BMI, the more likely it is that your tummy tuck or procedure of choice could be delayed or canceled in order to maximize your safety.
One thing to remember if you are curious about a plus size tummy tuck is that the procedure is not a replacement for weight loss. Plastic surgeons usually recommend that you get close to your ideal weight for your height six to 12 months before you undergo the procedure. It’s also important for you to maintain this weight, staying between 10 to 15 pounds from your goal weight at maximum.
Keep in mind that if you were to gain or lose additional weight after a tummy tuck, the change could “undo” your results.
Also note that a tummy tuck or plus size tummy tuck is not the same as a “belly apron surgery” or panniculectomy, which is performed to take off excess skin and fat that hangs off the abdominal area after you’ve had massive weight loss.
If you have been looking up advice about a plus size tummy tuck, you might also be searching for, “Tummy Tuck Near Me,” “Tummy Tuck Doctors Near Me,” “mini tummy tucks,” or “non-surgical tummy tuck” treatments. While a combined tummy tuck and lipo can provide stunning, transformative results for the right patient, liposuction can be done separately from a tummy tuck to reduce fat from specific body areas, such as the abdomen, the upper arms, below the chin, and the thighs. Procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction can enhance the look of the upper body and improve overall body proportions.
