Calculating Ideal Weight Prior to Loose Skin Removal Via Tummy Tuck

There really is no ideal body weight for everyone that have your height.  Meaning, what is ideal is what you can maintain over your lifetime.  It is the weight you are comfortable at and not some weight that you can get from plugging in the sex and height of a patient.  Once you are stable at the given weight for minimum 3 months then you are in good shape to have a tummy tuck.

Good luck.

Ideal weight based on insurance scales is 100 lbs for the first 5 feet plus 5 lbs (females) to 7 lbs (males) for each inch above 60 inches height.  The average amount of skin after significant weight loss removed with a tummy tuck in my practice is 3 to 6 lbs.  This doesn't seem like a lot of weight, but when you consider picking up 3 to 6 lbs of bacon at the supermarket, this is a significant amount of tissue. 

The most I've ever removed is 22 lbs from a morbidly obese patient.  Based on your athletic body composition, your expected skin trimmings will be much less.  While lower body fat will improve your satisfaction with the procedure, the timing of the surgery should be right when you are able to maintain your weight comfortably for at least 6 months prior to the surgery.
