PLUS SIZE & HIGH BMI PATIENTS
Plus Size Mommy Makeover in Miami
Is it possible?
A decade ago, any plastic surgeon would tell you that a plus-size mommy makeover surgery is too risky. After all, a high BMI for mommy makeover heightens the surgical risks. This can lead to potential complications and less than satisfactory results.
However, science shows that mommy makeovers with high BMI are not only possible, but also successful. In fact, Dr. Nick Masri has performed successful high BMI mommy makeovers. He has had success operating on women with BMIs up to 45.
What is Plus-Size Mommy Makeover Surgery?
During pregnancy, almost every part of your body increases in size – your boobs, tummy, arms, hips, and legs. Weight gain happens quickly because of hormones, fatty deposits, and your rapidly growing baby.
But once you go through childbirth and deliver your baby, you start losing all the weight you gained. While this may be a good thing, it can lead to stretch marks, loose muscles and ligaments, and dropping skin.
A mommy makeover solves these problems and restores your body as close to its pre-pregnancy state as possible. It does so with a combination of the following procedures, depending on your needs.
Many have misconceptions about weight and BMI affecting your chance of getting a mommy makeover. But the truth is, it is possible to get the procedure even if you have a high BMI. Excess weight by itself does not increase your risk for complications. Medical conditions that come with weight, like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, are what can cause problems.
If you are mentally and physically healthy with none of these conditions, a mommy makeover is an option. In truth, no max BMI exists for these procedures. A mommy makeover for obese and overweight women consists of the same procedures as for thinner women.
In fact, we have proof that tummy tucks benefit patients with increased BMI. These procedures do not only enhance appearance but also improve quality of life.
Breast Surgery
A mommy makeover may include breast augmentation and breast lift to fight off sagging. It will also help you achieve youthful and perky-looking breasts.
Tummy Tuck Surgery
The tummy tuck removes loose skin and stubborn areas of fat in the abdomen, improving its appearance.
Buttock Enhancement
Having a buttock enhancement procedure can improve the shape and size of the buttocks. This surgery may use buttock implants or fat grafting via the Brazilian butt lift.
Thigh and Arm Lift
The thigh and arm lift removes saggy skin and excess fat on those areas. This makes the upper arms and thighs more toned, firm, and younger-looking.
