I am 5'1 and 180 lbs. I wear a size 12. I have a larger midriff than the pouch below the navel, and concerned that I will continue to have a larger upper belly. The doctor said he would do Liposuction, but that was about it. I am in the process of losing 30 lbs more, being that I have lost 50 lbs over the last year. I will be having Tummy Tuck and Hysterectomy on the same day in November. Is there anyone who is of a larger frame and had good results from tummy tuck? I plan on losing a lot after the surgery.
Answer: Tummy tuck is effective regardless of frame size Tummy tuck is a very effective contouring procedure for women of all shapes and sizes. It will not matter if you have a heavy bone structure, or are short or tall, the results can be very good for all. What is important however is weight as it relates to height, the dreaded body mass index. According to the current tables with your height of 5'1" and weight of 180 pounds, your BMI is 34. It may come as a shock, but you are considered to be obese. A general 'ideal' weight for women of your height is 132 pounds. This may be a bit unfair, however the bottom line is that you will probably have the best result if you delay your tummy tuck until you lose the additional weight you have planned on. Perhaps your hysterectomy can wait until you have reached your 30 pound weight loss goal.

Answer: Tummy Tuck on Large Framed Woman Your concerns are right on target. With your height and weight and admission of upper belly fullness you will most likely still have significant upper tummy fullness after a tummy tuck.

Answer: Optimal time for abdominoplasty While it is often convenient and appropriate to do a tummy tuck as the same time as an intra-pelvic gynecological procedure, it should not be predominantly one of conveneince. If you are not in an optimal state of fitness, hence unstable as far as contour and weight, this is usually not a good time to be performing major body-contouring procedures unless it is part of a more comprehensive plan as when one does a panniculectomy prior to weight loss and subsequent tummy tuck.
