Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number determined by the relationship between your weight and height. When it comes to BMI, Portland’s Waldorf Center team encourages patients considering plastic surgery to determine their range before deciding on a procedure. Fat reduction procedures like liposuction and skin-tightening procedures like tummy tucks work best for patients who are at or near their ideal weight for their height, typically in the “normal” or “overweight” categories. Patients who are considered obese would best benefit from lowering their BMI and maintaining a stable weight before choosing body contouring.
