I'm just curious as to what the average weight the skin is that is removed during a tummy tuck? I'm about 25 lbs over weight. I am 5'1'' and 150lbs. This is a recent picture of me, I know you can't tell me an exact number but maybe an estimate, or an average? Thank you!

Answer: Skin and fat does not weigh much Skin and fat does not weigh much, especially fat. That's why fat floats to the surface. And that's why you should not expect to lose much weight after either liposuction or a tummy tuck. Best wishes.

Answer: How much does the extra skin weigh? Thank you for your question.In general, patients who undergo tummy tuck surgery may lose 3-5 pounds. I do not perform this procedure for weight loss but rather for body contouring purposes.Most patients who have the tummy tuck procedure are so pleased with their new look that they start exercising more and eating more healthy and therefore may lose weight.I hope this helps.Best Wishes.
