Previously I was very toned and at my ideal weight but my stomach laxity from muscle separation and back to back pregnancies bothered me so much I gained back 15 lbs to fill in the loose skin. I'm beyond ready for a tummy tuck now, but should I first lose that 15 extra lbs before consultations? Current: 5'6" 150lbs ideal weight 135.

Answer: How close to goal weight should I be for tummy tuck consultation? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Based on your current, and goal, weight you are certainly within the range to pursue surgical consultations to help you obtain information and to determine which surgeon you would like to proceed with your surgery. Your consultation can help provide additional motivation to lose the weight and can give you an estimate on timing to have it performed. Hope this helps.

Answer: How close to goal weight should I be for tummy tuck consultation? Most plastic surgeons suggest that you finish having children, get your weight within 10 pounds of your ideal weight, and have a BMI less than 30 before undergoing an abdominoplasty with repair of the stretched out abdominal muscles and liposuction of selective areas, in order to achieve the best long term cosmetic result with the least potential complications. There is no reason that you should wait to have at least a consultation.
