Tummy tuck necessary after weight loss?
Congratulations on your decision to get to a healthy body weight. It is impossible to tell whether or not a tummy tuck would be necessary after you reach your goal weight. It is common to have loose, redundant skin after dramatic weight loss. I recommend a visit to a Board Certified plastic surgeon once you are close to your goal weight so your options can be explored. Best of luck.

If I lost 150 pounds would I need a tummy tuck
Great question. Great GOAL! It is impossible to say for sure at this time. But if you did lose that much weight typically you are left with laxity and some overhanging skin and the abdomen is one of the most common areas.
I recommend you lose the weight, then see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.

Will a tummy tuck be needed after weight loss
Its impossible to predict what procedures you may need after your anticipated weight loss. A common challenge weight loss patients experience is excess skin laxity. Once you have lost your weight, please visit with a board certified PS to learn more about your options. Good luck.
