How much weight would I be likely to lose after a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck abdominoplasty is done to remove excess skin from either prior pregnancy or significant weight loss. It may include some local fat reduction for contouring but not weight loss. The risk of complications from this type of surgery increases with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of greater than 30, so your best results and the safest approach is to do the weight loss first if you are in that category.

Thank you for the question. Weight loss after tummy tuck surgery, depending on the specific patient's anatomy, typically ranges between 2 to 5 pounds. As you know, it is an  abdominal wall contouring (not a weight loss) procedure.  You may find the attached link, dedicated to tummy tuck surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.
