Body Contouring Risks Greater For Obese People

Patients who are interested in getting body contouring plastic surgery are typically patients who are overweight. After all, you don't want to get your body shaped to be slimmer if you're already achingly thin. But studies indicate that a higher body mass index means a greater risk when getting body contouring surgery. This means that the procedure could be especially risky for those patients who are truly obese.

In addition to the fact that there was a greater risk of complications in more obese patients, the study found that there were also generally poorer results for the surgery when performed on these patients. This suggests that patients seeking this type of surgery may want to consider weight loss surgery prior to body contouring plastic surgery.

Question of the Day: What is the ideal weight of a patient interested in getting successful low-risk body contouring plastic surgery?
