Hello. I am 23 years old and had a tummy tuck back in October 2019 due to childbirth. After my tummy tuck I weighed in at about 155 pounds and since then I have gained about 20 to 25 pounds. I’m almost back to 160 pounds now and I feel like my skin is a little bit looser and I’m worried that I might have to go in for a revision due to my skin laxity being little to none. Will exercise help me achieve my original tummy tuck results or will I need revision surgery? Thank you for all feedback.
Answer: Weight gain after a tummy tuck Thank you for your question. Looking at your photos I would suggest doing a little bit of liposuction around the mid section. You can also request a skin tightening laser component to help with the skin retraction. I would suggest speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Answer: No guarantee Weight gain can negatively impact the results of a tummy tuck. Excess fat can accumulate in the area and the skin becomes stretched out. Losing weight can reduce the excess fat in the area but it may cause the skin to become loose, since it may not be able to retract. However, there is no guarantee this will happen.

Answer: Tummy tuck results Weight gain can alter your tummy tuck results, but it appears you don't have much skin laxity. If you are concerned I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for a consultation once you have achieved your goal weight.

Answer: Tummy tuck abdominoplasty horizontal tummy tuck lower body lift mommy makeover extended tummy tuck stomach lipo liposuction Thank you for your question regarding if you messed up your tummy tuck. Although you are gaining weight, it is not too late to revert your body back to your original tummy tuck results. You have not gained a significant amount of weight yet. It’s important that you begin to diet and exercise, cutting out all carbs, sugars, and alcohol. You do not want your tummy tuck cost and pain to go to waste. You still have a shapely figure and not a lot of excess skin. You can consider liposuction if diet and exercise do not help you lose weight. However, please try to exercise and see what you can do first.
