How long should I maintain my weight loss before moving forward with a tummy tuck?

Hello! First of all, congrats on the weight loss! You have done all of the hard work already!
I typically ask my patients how their weight has fluctuated over the past 6 months if they are considering a tummy tuck procedure. Ideally I like to see less than a 10-15 lbs weight fluctuation for at least 3-6 months. There really is no required time you need to maintain a weight goal before getting a tummy tuck but we want to make sure that you are at a happy weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle to maintain those long term results. Good luck!

I usually reccomend a stable weight for at least 3 months prior to surgery, but its not a rule by any means! I have patients that continue to go on and lose 5-15lbs more after surgery and it only makes their result better.Hope that helps and good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.
To have the best possible result, it is best to reach and maintain your goal weight prior to having surgery. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options . Best wishes!
