I work out every day,for the most part follow a diet of protein veggies water. I build muscle and not weight on the scale. Want other opinions. I want to feel good about myself.
Answer: Candidate for a Tummy Tuck Far more important than deciding if a tummy tuck is for you is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let him explain why one technique may be better than another and if you need a tummy tuck. Many board certified plastic surgeons provide a free first time consult and you should take advantage of that!See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you!I have also attached a video for a possible Tummy Tuck Candidate. #tummytuck#TT#findingthebestplasticsurgeon

Answer: Weight loss after LTA tummy tuck Most of my patients lose 10 to 15% of their total body weight after a lateral tension abdominoplasty procedure. This is due to change in fat to muscle ratio as well as abdominal wall muscle tightening which provides early satiety after the procedure. While diet and exercise is an integral part of good healthy lifestyle, I find patients after LTA are at a discreet advantage in achieving and maintaining this.

Answer: Tummy tuck and weight loss It sounds like you're making a very good life decision to get back to a healthier weight. Before you embark upon surgery and it's always best to achieve a comfortable weight that you feel you can maintain in your future without starving yourself. I know many patients who try crash diets, drugs or other fads to lose weight. These are generally prone to failure. The only way to loose weight and keep it off is through diet, exercise, and even sometimes behavior modification. You may wish to consult with your internist or nutritionist to help put you on the right track. Body mass index charts can tell you where you should be, but getting there is the hard part. A few things to remember as you bark upon your weight loss program: True healthy weight loss takes time. Don't rush it. Rail thin is not always healthy either, seeking a comfortable and healthy weight. Be sure that you can maintain your weight loss for a number of months prior to surgery to prove that your weight is stable. Don't embark upon surgery without being stable and without having adequate nutrition or you wont heal well. Even though you're not at your goal weight yet consult with a plastic surgeon so that you can be followed during the process. It will help to define your goals as you consider your future surgical options.

Answer: Tummy tuck at 200 lbs If you need to lose weight to have a tummy tuck, I can't understand at all why a plastic surgeon would proceed with an augment/pexy. When you lose that much weight, it will have consequences for the breast surgery. If you are only eating veggies and drinking water, that weight is anomalous and perhaps you need medical work up.
