Many plastic surgeons have BMI cutoffs for tummy tuck procedures because higher BMI can lead to increased complications if a specialized abdominoplasty procedure like the Plus Size Tummy Tuck® is not performed. The take-home message is that a higher BMI should not automatically rule you out for surgery; it just requires a surgeon with the right skill set and experience.
