At 5'2" and 145 pounds, you are overweight but certainly not obese. A good tummy tuck should remove the excess skin between the top of your belly button and 1" below the top of your pubic hair.

Losing weight before a mommy makeover

Mommy Makeover
There are a lot of variables with a Mommy Makeover and how patients bodies respond to weight loss. In general I would agree that if you are planning on loosing 20 more pounds I would do that first before considering surgery. The weight loss probably would not hurt the results of the abdominal component of the surgery but may give significant changes to the breasts.

Weight loss and Mommy Makeover.
Thank you for your question. A small amount of weight change shouldn't make a big difference. If you plan on losing more than 20 pounds, then I would recommend waiting until your weight is stable for 3- 6 months for best results and predictable results.
I hope this helps.
