I do repeated cycled of bulking and cutting. Would it be better to have a lower body fat percentage before a tummy tuck in order to deflate the skin of as uch fat? That way less fat cells are removed so that I can avoid fat redistribution? I know fat cells remain the same and just grow and shrink, so I am not sure if that has any effect? I hope my question makes sense.

Answer: tummy tuck weight I would not worry about fat redistributing after a tummy tuck. Other areas of your body will not gain fat more easily simply because fat around your abdomen has been removed. I would aim for your lowest weight that can be achieved in a healthy fashion, and have the procedure done then. They will allow for the removal of the maximal amount of skin and tightening.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: I am concerned about fat redistribution after TT. I am a body builder and intentionally gain weight to gain muscle mass? Thank you for sharing your question. In order to maintain your long-term tummy tuck results, it is best to reach your desired goal weight prior to surgery and avoid large fluctuations in weight postoperatively. Significant weight gain/loss will cause skin stretch and a loosening of your tummy tuck results. Hope this helps.
