What is the complications of gaining 60 pounds after abdominoplasty?

You surely understand that this weight gain would ruin the nice contouring a tummy tuck usually produces. Secondly, you gain much of this weight inside your abdomen, and therefore can stretch the muscles, leading to significant looseness of a previously tight repair.

Thank
you very much for your question. Gaining
60 pounds is a lot of weight and will cause your body to change in a variety of
ways. However, without a photograph and specific height/weight
information, it is difficult to provide any other meaningful advice to your
question.

There are several complications that can arise from heavy weight gain after an abdominoplasy. The repair of the abdominal fascia is quite
strong. Weight gain will happen under the skin as well as beneath the muscle (visceral fat). The increase in visceral fat will also increase intra-abdominal
pressure. This can cause or worsen reflux as well as hemorrhoids and cause
discomfort from the tightness of the muscle layer. Hope this helps,Dr. JSB
