Clothing Size After Tummy Tuck

By sds1arm2 on 16 Oct 2011

Wondering how much of a size difference a tummy tuck with muscle repair will make?  Pre-op is a size 16 pants/shorts.  Surgery scheduled for December 12.  I hav e apretty big flap of skin that will be removed.

This can be different for everyone.  I have read about some women who have dropped many sizes once they were done healing.  And then others only dropped a size or two but their clothes fit so beautifully.  No lumps, bumps, bulges and tightness.  

Try not to focus on the clothing size.  If you feel good and look good after having the hanging skin removed then that's a blessing.   Just enjoy the new body:)
