I have lost 100 pounds so far and am planning on a tummy tuck. I have 30 pounds to go until I reach my goal weight of 135. Can I go ahead and get the tummy tuck or wait till I reach my goal? I'm very happy about the weight loss but I can't stand the loose skin.

Answer: Reaching ideal weight before tummy tuck surgery. First of all, congratulations on your weight loss journey. You definitely got over the most challenging part. I highly suggest waiting until you reach your target weight. You should be at a relatively stable weight for at least 6 months before your surgery. Gaining or losing weight can undo the contoured shape achieved during the operation. Good luck with everything.

Answer: Reach Weight Loss Goal Before Tummy Tuck Surgery? Yes it is advisable to reach your target weight before considering tummy tuck surgery. You should have a constant weight for at least 6 months before surgery. Gaining or losing weight after surgery might not give you desired results from the procedure. Please talk to a consultant plastic surgeon regarding your ideal weight before surgery
