Why is BMI important to consider before having a tummy tuck?
BMI is just a number that takes your height and weight into account.
Typically a higher BMI means you are more overweight.
But what I’m really trying to figure out is how much pressure is inside your abdomen!
The less pressure inside your abdomen, the more I can tighten your muscles during a tummy tuck.
So I look at your BMI, but I also press on your abdomen to check the pressure which informs me if you need to lose visceral fat through diet and exercise first.
Tummy tuck by Dr Sej Beverly Hills. Notice how natural the belly button looks and how low the incision is. The line you see is just a mark from her garment. The actual incision is hidden by her clothing. #tummytuck#abdominoplasty
