  • Let's talk about BMI, Body Mass Index. Does the BMI really matter for having plastic surgery and what is the ideal BMI for having procedures such as a BBL, liposuction, or tummy tuck? In this video, Dr. William clarifies his view on this weight guideline before undergoing cosmetic surgery.

    Your videos have been so helpful deciphering what my surgeons comments deeper meaning of “ok good, your fat isn’t internal “ means. I have some pretty extreme asymmetry from a car accident and it really causes me to feel uncomfortable with how my outcomes will be. Love your videos. If you ever cover abdomen asymmetry videos that would be amazing!

    Thanks Dr William. Very useful information, I saw 3 doctors and got confused about BMI and why one was willing to do the surgery and the other two did not want to. I doubted the one who was willing but now I understand. Will you plz post a video to explain what is internal fat and how do you measure it or know it? Thanks a million for educating us 🫶🏻

    Better explanation than this? IMPOSSIBLE !!!
    Many surgeons displaced me because of that (single ) number. I'm a woman, and I have the constitution of a mid size man. With that number, I will NEVER fit in that table.
    Luckily, a very good surgeon, contemplate my all context and made me the surgery.

    This has been my issue. My BMI is 31/32. Former track athlete. I gained 100lbs when I got sick and lost 90 of it. I workout still yet this weight is not coming off like I thought, Im having a hard time building muscle and my body looks nothing like it did prior to the weight gain. I want to get a bbl yet the bmi has been one of the biggest barriers to getting it done😢

    Unfortunately, BMI is being grossly exaggerated because hospitals and clinics routinely weigh patients fully clothed, with the contents of their pockets, which can (in my experience) add about six pounds to their weight. Might not sound like much, but it raises your BMI, which your doctors use as a measure of your health.

    • @ms.virgo82187
      @ms.virgo82187 4 місяці тому +1

      Exactly 💯. That's why I always weigh myself before I go to my doctor appointments. Your true weight is when you wake up, no clothes , and after you go to the bathroom. They always want to weigh you with all those clothes when you tell them what you weighed earlier they act like you are lying. 🙄 Doctors offices are always like 3-7lbs more than your scale at home. And you right about the BMI is always going to be higher...smdh
