Will Loosing 10 Pounds After a Tummy Tuck Ruin It?

In 14+ years of practice I have NEVER seen a TT patient look worse after losing only 5-10 lbs. I do counsel patients that if they are going to lose more than 10-15 lbs after surgery they should get closer to that weight before doing the TT.  But I did have a patient that lost like 30 lbs and even though she had loose skin she was still very happy.  Sometimes people need to get that overhanging fat/skin off before they can really exercise the way they need to in order to lose additional weight. Best of luck to you.

On some individuals 10 pounds could make a difference and on others it will make no difference. It all depends upon your existing skin elasticity. Fortunately the fist 10 pounds is usually intra-abdominal or visceral fat and should help to make your abdomen even flatter.
