Will there be difference in size of my waist and belly after tummy tuck? If yes, how much? I am scheduled for a tummy tuck. I am wondering how much size change in my waist and belly should I expect.
Answer: This depends on how much tissue will be removed... You will definitely get a measurable size reduction. This depends on how much fat tissue is to be removed and how much tightening that you will require at the time of surgery. It is very hard to give you a number without knowing more about you or seeing your pictures. Patients definitely fit into clothes much better after the procedure and notice a significant improvement in their body contour. It is one of procedures that has an extremely high patient satisfaction rate.

Answer: No easy way to know dress size after tummy tuck There is no absolute method of determining this calculation. It is a complex interplay of your intrabdominal contents (organs), skeleton (hips/ribs), muscle status, fatty deposits, and skin quality. Furthermore, it will likely take at least 2-3 months for your results to settle and to determine your final dress size.

Answer: Internal Corset to Narrow the Waist - View photos to see size difference
The ‘Internal Corset’ – a procedure to narrow the waist
The permanent sutures that are used to flatten and tighten the abdominal wall are typically placed in the midline. The rectus abdominis muscles, prior to pregnancy, are lined up immediately side-by-side. Expansion of the abdominal wall during pregnancy allows the muscles to stretch apart, leaving a weak layer of fascia (connective tissue) spanning the gap between the two muscles – the medical term for which is diastasis. The midline tightening sutures correct the diastasis and bring the rectus muscles back into a 'side-by-side' configuration, flattening the abdominal wall in the process.
Although this midline tightening dramatically enhances the abdominal profile, it often does adequately address the fact that pregnancy can also wreak havoc on the waist, turning what was formerly an 'hourglass' figure into something that is more cylindrical in shape. For several years now I have been using permanent 'internal corset' sutures, placed laterally in the abdominal wall, that draw the waist inward and restore some of the hourglass effect of abdominal concavity at the waistline in frontal view. The addition of these sutures to midline tightening, and in some cases in place of midline tightening, has allowed me to achieve even more impressive postoperative results.

Answer: Changes after a tummy tuck
With tightening of the abdominal musculature, you will notice that your stomach will be flatter. It may not change the size of your pants.
