Answer: How much weight to lose before Tummy Tuck? There is no ideal weight for a tummy tuck procedure. The main thing is to make sure that you are at a long-term stable weight. If you're planning to lose weight in the future, then it's likely best to wait and tell you have reached the new weight to have a tummy tuck procedure.Additional weight loss will make it easier to remove excess skin, and allows your surgeon to tighten the abdominal wall further. Conversely, gaining weight after a tummy tuck procedure may stretch your skin and abdominal wall after they have been tightened.

Answer: How much weight loss should you have before a tummy tuck? It is best to be as close to your goal weight as possible prior to having a tummy tuck. Usually within 5-10 pounds is what I suggest. If, realistically, you don't think you will lose much more weight, then I say go ahead with surgery whenever you're ready to. At your current weight, you will still see a nice change. Good luck!
