Inches Lost After Tummy Tuck w/ Lipo?

It depends on your bone structure, amount of fat and extra skin.  This is a hard question to answer since we all come in different shapes and sizes.  You should schedule a consult with a board certified PS and see what expectations are reasonable for your unique situation. 

Every patient is different - their concern, body type and expectations are different, therefore it would be very difficult to give you an average on how many inches you could lose from a tummy tuck and liposuction. It’s better to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can give you a rough idea of what you can have removed.

That is an interesting question, but one that does not have a good answer. The success of a tummy tuck or liposuction is not based on any magic number of "inches lost". I think what you are asking is how much you can expect your figure to change, or how much your waist-to-hip ratio will change. During a tummy tuck, your abdominal muscles are tightened, and excess skin and soft tissue are removed. This has the ability make your waistline smaller, or give a more hour-glass figure. Liposuction of your hips will decrease the volume of fat there, but may or may not change your "number" depending on where the liposuction is done. The best way to figure out if your expectations will be met by surgery is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals. Good luck!

Without seeing a picture, this is difficult to answer.  The factors that affect your waistline include the amount of diastasis rectus and pooching you have, the thickness of your abdominal skin, where you care that skin, and the nature of your love handles.  A well designed abdominoplasty addresses all these areas and thus reduces these measurements.  Your surgeon at a consultation can give you a better idea, but the most important goal of the operation is to globally improve your shape and form and not necessarily just remove inches.  Good luck.  You can go to my website to see animation about tummy tucks in general. 

We typically don't measure that after this surgery.  As long as the result looks good the measurement is less relevant.  Sometimes the result looks good but the goal in measurement loss wasn't met so it was irrelevant.  Some patients will tell you what they lost but it would be quite rare for a plastic surgeon to tell you what number to expect.
