You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon who has the advantage of knowing your anatomy and testing you for fluid waves for seroma. Most of the time its simply one side may have a little thicker fatty layer and office revisions can help resolve this after you are healed. ...
I would not start any aggressive change in your diet without the approval of your surgeon.Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and get exercise. Leave the fasting for another time.
No, weight should be no harder to lose before a tummy tuck than after.When you lose the weight, your skin might be a little looser, especially if you have a lot of remaining stretch marks. But you will look so much better than a little loose skin is unlikely to seem like a problem.
