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 🫶🏻
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😢
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. Thanks for this doctor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@tiabks9413 visceral fat is normally stored around your organs, so if you have a very large waistline... and kind of have the pot belly look like a fat guy... a lot of that is visceral fat, there is an exception to this however... how your body stores fat and how much visceral fat you have is also determined by your lifestyle/physical activity levels and diet.
@@tiabks9413 An overweight is extremely active/physical person like a football player, or sumo wrestler is going to have less visceral fat than an ovewerweight person that works in office and is sedentary and rarely exercises. Exercise/weight lifting and working out changes how your body stores fat to a certain extent...a lot of weight lifters, sumo wrestlers , football players while they are competing have higher levels of subcutaneous fat and lower levels of visceral fat,... however when they retire and become more sedentary this changes.. and they develop more visceral fat.
@@tiabks9413 if you want more understanding on this look up sumo diet or sumo lifestyle, or how sumo wrestlers stay healthy on youtube, its very insightful.
@@tiabks9413 diet again also is a large factor in this... a person who eats somewhat healthy, that eats a lot of carbohydrates, and but consumes less grease fried foods, and less meat and dairy.. is going to have significantly less visceral fat than a person that eats a lot of fast and fried foods, and fatty meats, hamburgers, ribs..etc
Same here I have alot of muscle mass...also I did lose weight, but they still tell me I need to lose more pounds....it doesn't make since. I just want my extra skin gone already 😢
I hate to be the one to say this: weight and BMI absolutely need to be considered in some capacity. I see so many 250-300 lb women getting plastic surgery- lipo, BBL, tummy tuck. These individuals clearly have not done the work or lost the weight. They have not made any lifestyle changes. I’ve lost 152 lbs and I’ve been working on this since 2008. I am just now signing up for a tummy tuck. While everyone’s journey is different, there is no excusing a 300 lb patient as “really muscular” and approving them for surgery. Not to mention, the risk of everything increases in the obese in the OR.
I doubt there are a lot of patients over 250 pounds having those surgeries. For one in Florida it is illegal to have cosmetic surgery over a BMI of 40 and I don't know of a single plastic surgeon that wouldn't refer a 300 pound patient for bariatric surgery or treatment. It is not safe to have surgery at those weights.
Can you please make a video discussing the topics listed below? Thank you in advance Birth control and BBL (should patients discontinue BC prior to surgery) Can patients with autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, hashimotos qualify for surgery Can your hemoglobin be too high for surgery?
So, how do we know whether it's visceral or external? Like, I imagine that visceral fat is not as noticeable as external, but how do you measure it? I know you said by height and weight, but how do you know where it's at?
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.
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
@@ms.virgo82187 Exactly! I've encountered a few doctors' assistants who will actually listen to me and write down the weight I told them. Some won't, but what can you do, call them liars?

The 30 pounds will lose the internal fat and then the abdominal wall plication or some people call it muscle repair will tighten the abdomen. But you can't get a flat tummy with a muscle repair until the internal fat is gone. Watch this video on muscle repair: ua-cam.com/video/7z1KbD7CC8I/v-deo.htmlsi=iBfYllY10HtjkbkD

I have fatty thighs. I'm 5'11 & weigh around 83.5 Kgs. Am I a right candidate for liposuction?
It is more complex than just height and weight. I would have to examine you or see photos to be able to answer that question.
Hello Dr. William,
I'm 5'3 58 yrs and Weigh 175lbs. My BMI is 31.1 and my Visceral Fat is 13.6 .. Am I a good candidate for Tummy Tuck or Liposuction?
Idk how you know your visceral fat, but I would lose all of it before surgery.
@@DrWilliamMiami I'm going by a scale my doctor gave me to help me lose weight. Thank you for your quick response. I will do just that. 🙂
@@DrWilliamMiami what is visceral?

Hi
Hi
If the BMI is under 30, (25 in my case), does the patient always have to gain? Even if they have enough visceral fat for a skinny BBL
I never ask patients to gain weight.
You have enough to get a regular BBL though
See u in soon
Hi Dr. William I was wondering what’s the highest bmi you take ? .
Get to your lowest BMI you can before surgery--that will get you the best result in the safest way possible.
How do you find out if you have visceral fat?
