I am 28 years old 5'8'', my peak weight was during pregnancy 450lbs, pre-pregnancy was 375.Ten days before body lift surgery, I am 5'8'' 195-205lbs and have maintained this weight for nearly 3 years. My waist, if you can even call it that, currently measures 46''My mid section is very large with no definition of hips and a flabby back. The surgeon says he will also liposuction by back during the procedure and I will have "lovely results".How many inches will be lost during this procedure?(P.S. I'm too embarrassed to post a photo)

Answer: How Many Inches Are Lost Around the Waist After Body Lift? Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, there is no "standard" number of inches lost after lower body lifting surgery given that every patient who undergoes tummy tuck surgery is different. Factors that come into play when it comes to answering your question include: overall body type, degree of muscle separation and adequacy of repair (plication), type of surgery performed, amount of adipose tissue present, quantity/quality of life is such an surgery performed, post operative maintenance of diet/exercise program… My best suggestion: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Ask to see lots of examples of similar patients and evaluate their outcomes. Doing so you may be able to achieve a level of expectation that is realistic. Best wishes.
