How many dress sizes can I expect to loose after a Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Thanks for sharing your question.  It is hard to give you any reasonable estimate on change in waist size based on the photo.  An in person exam helps with this estimation.  However, most patients do have a significant change in the way their clothes fit and they often go down a size or two after tummy tuck.  Weight loss with tummy tuck is not always immediate.  In general after healing and returning to normal physical activity patients do notice weight loss, but this is 4-6 weeks after surgery.Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon and have a detailed consultation.  I think this will help you get an impression for realistic goals with surgery.

Thank you for your question.  As others have stated it is impossible to give you an accurate answer.He will notice a decrease in the fullness of your abdomen and if done properly your tummy should look smaller and tighter in any dresses that you currently wear.  However dress size is determined not only by your tummy but by her shoulders and hips and your basic hip and shoulder size will remain the same.
