Will I lose any amount of inches from my waist after a full body lift?

March 8, 2015
Asked By:SeanTaylor in Knoxville, TN

I'm a 5'8, 155 lb 20 year old male. My unclothed waist measurement is 34 in, but I want to be able to wear pants with a 29 in. waist. I can easily wear that size, however it pushes my skin up and above my pants, creating a muffin top. Should I lose more until they fit around my waist WITHOUT them causing this? Or will surgery remove enough skin for me to wear them correctly? I know that it's different for each person, but if I could get a general idea it would help immensely. Thank you kindly.
