I am 28 years old. My weight is 163. My goal weight is 135 lbs. Is that too much weight to loose after my tummy tuck?
Answer: Will 25 lbs of weight loss effect my tummy tuck results? Making my stomach saggy again? Most plastic surgeons suggest that you finish having children, get your weight within 10 pounds of your ideal weight and have a BMI less than 30 before undergoing an abdominoplasty with repair of the stretched out abdominal muscles and liposuction of selective areas, in order to achieve the best long term cosmetic result with the least potential complications. Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell youwhat to do based on two dimensional photos without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice.The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). If you live outside of the United States, the surgeon should ideally be a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California.

Answer: Will weight loss effect my tummy tuck results? It's a good question. It's difficult to determine how 25 pounds of weight loss will affect your results. The most conservative thing to do to make your results predictable and long-lasting, is to lose the weight prior to undergoing surgery. You wouldn't have to lose all of the weight before surgery, but getting closer to your goal weight would help.
