First, let’s discuss what is body mass index or BMI?
Body mass index is a number calculated based on a person’s weight and height. For medical professionals like Dr. Franklin Peña, BMI is an important indicator that a person may or may not be a patient for plastic surgery.
The body mass index (BMI) is the relationship between weight and the health of our body
How to know if your body mass index is within normal parameters?
Doctors have defined minimum and maximum limits. If a person has a BMI less than 18.5, it means that they are under their ideal weight, and if the body mass index is greater than 29, the person is over their ideal weight.
In general terms, the higher the BMI, the greater the risk of developing certain diseases related to weight gain and obesity, such as diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, cholesterol, and in extreme cases, liver and heart disease.
When we want to make a change in our body, such as a cosmetic surgery to feel good, we must bear in mind that it is important to enter the operating room in good health, so we always recommend having a balanced nutrition and exercising periodically.
To be a candidate for plastic surgery with Dr. Franklin Peña, your body mass index must be 28
The BMI is a simple indicator that allows an evaluation of the nutritional status of any person. However, this index, being based only on weight and height, has the limitation of not differentiating between muscle and fat mass, which is why we insist that it should not be used in isolation and we always recommend an evaluation.
