How Many Inches Are Lost Around the Waist After Body Lift?

flabbyback
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)
