The ideal weight for Tummy Tuck

Ideal Weight for Tummy Tuck

The closer you can get to your ideal, the better your ultimate result. If you have the tummy tuck at your present weight, knowing where you would prefer, you will most likely lose weight after the...

At/Near Ideal Weight Best Time for Tummy Tuck
If you are at or close to your ideal body weight at the time of your tummy tuck, you are likely to obtain a better result than someone who is significantly overweight. I agree that, in your case, a weight of 130-135 pounds is a reasonable and attainable goal.

130 to 135 Pounds is about right
For your age and height 130 to 135 pounds is about right. However, it really depends on where your excess weight is. If it's mostly I your abdomen or thighs then you might need to ideally lose more or less weight. The best way to decide is to see a plastic surgeon in person.
