if you are 'overweight' (by bmi) would they refuse operation?

i have just had my boobs done and my cousin was asking about it. she would love a reduction and uplift. she has huge boobs that also droop. she is about 5ft2 and weighs around 15 stone (she does not look this weight though)she struggles to lose weight, but a few years ago when she was slimmer she still had huge boobs so losing weight wouldnt make them any smaller.

so she asked if they would do this kind of op with her actually being classed as obese by her hight/weight ratio. i said id didnt know! so thought id try and find out for her x

any ideas?

Well, I’m 5.7 and 13 stone with a BMI of 30 which is classed as obese. It went on my records that I had this BMI but my op still went ahead with no problems, and I wasn’t told by anyone that it would be an issue. Hope this helps. x

I know someone who a reduction on the nhs, I don’t know how much she weighed but she was quite big x

im not sure if its the same, but my bmi is 17, so im classed as underweight and had not problem having my opp, i dont think your weight come into it unless your mega under/over weight xx

thanks ladies i think then that weight desnt matter unless its extreme. i will let her know. she just didnt want to book &pay for a consultation to be told that she needed to lose weight x thanks x
