Still planning to lose weight once I recover from mommy make-over. Ideally it would be great to do this b/f I have the procedure done but the drag of my front is affecting my back. Will this mess up my new stomach and breasts?
Answer: Weight loss before or after mommy makeover It would be best to be within 10-15 pounds of your target weight before surgery so that if you lose another 10-15 pounds afterwards your results will not be ruined in any way. Of course, it depends also on your size/age to begin with. If the "front" is too big and inhibits you from exercising and therefore getting to your goal you need to discuss this with your surgeon. In that case you may need to proceed knowing that a revision procedure will need to be done. There is nothing wrong with staging procedures as long as both the surgeon and the patient are comfortable with it. Best of luck to you.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Will weight loss after Mommy Makeover mess things up? Most Board Certified Plastic Surgeons would like their patients to be about their goal weight before surgery. One would rather not operate on someone, have them lose 100 lbs., and then have to do that operation again. There is a significant increase in complications in heavier patients. This includes a very high increase in the wounds, (that will be on tension in a Mommy Makeover), falling apart. Each Plastic Surgeon has their own "window" where they feel comfortable enough operating. Talk to your Plastic Surgeon. Together you will make a safe plan.

Answer: Weight loss after mommy makeover will not mess up the result. Many patients use abdominal contouring surgery as a psychological start up for further weight loss. Unless the weight loss is profound should have no significant effect on the outcome of the previous surgery.

Answer: Effect of weight loss after a mommy makeover over. If you are considering body contouring surgery it is best to be within 10 pounds of your target weight. Normally weight loss of 20 pounds or more is noticeable. If you lose this much weight or more after your surgery you will very likely experience some loose skin following weight loss. Considering the expense of the surgery and the time you'll need for recovery it is best for you to do everything you can to help achieve the best result possible.
