Pre-operative preparation for high BMI patients is comprehensive to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize risks. Patients are often advised to achieve a stable weight and maintain it for several months before surgery. Nutritional counseling may be provided to ensure the patient is in the best possible health. Smoking cessation is strongly recommended, as smoking can significantly impair healing. Our surgeons may also require a thorough medical evaluation to assess overall health and identify any conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery, such as diabetes or cardiovascular issues.

While the primary goal of a high BMI tummy tuck is to improve the abdominal contour, patients may experience additional health benefits. Reducing excess abdominal skin and fat can alleviate back pain caused by the weight and strain on the spine. It can also reduce the occurrence of skin infections and irritations in the folds of excess skin. However, these benefits vary among patients, and it is important to have realistic expectations. Patients should discuss their specific health concerns with their surgeon to understand how the procedure may impact them.

Post-surgery, high BMI patients should adopt a healthy lifestyle to maintain the results of their tummy tuck. This includes following a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains while avoiding excessive calories and unhealthy foods. Regular physical activity is crucial, starting with gentle exercises and gradually increasing intensity as the body heals. Patients should also stay hydrated, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol consumption. Maintaining a stable weight is essential to prevent stretching of the newly tightened abdominal area. Additionally, regular follow-ups with the surgeon can help monitor progress and address any concerns promptly.
