I have gained 30lbs after my tummy tuck. Is it harder to lose this weight after a tummy tuck?

Question

Tummy tuck weight gain. Will I look the same as before when I loose the weight?

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

gaining weight after a tummy tuckits always best to maintain your weight as much as possible .   it just as easy,  or difficult, to loose the weight after the surgery, but gaining this much weight can stretch your skin and muscles

Christopher J. Morea, MD · Answer

A tummy tuck procedure will not affect your ability to lose weight.  Losing the weight will enhance the result of your tummy tuck. It is impossible to predict whether your abdomen will look exactly as it did prior to the weight gain.Best of luck,

Thomas Fiala, MD, FACS, FRCSC · Answer

Unless you've stretched out the skin, you should still be able to get back to a similar look and shape once you diet off the weight.All the best!

Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS · Answer

The fact that you've had a TT should not impact your ability to lose or gain weight - in general, losing a bit of weight after TT can enhance the result.

Carmina Cardenas, MD · Answer

You have to acknowledge that after TT, it seems kind of easy to gain weight and very hard to lose it.Plus, the fat will not be storage the same before surgery.If you lose weight you will only improve your results.Be encouraged.Dr. Cardenas
