How much can I expect to lose in inches/cm in my waistline from a tummy tuck?

i agree with dr singer, but would also point out that many patients would benefit from liposuction of the posterior hip ("lovehandle") area in conjunction with their tummytuck. this area will impact the eventual waistline area and how clothing fits there after surgery.

Helpful?
