If I lose 20 lbs after my tummy tuck will that ruin my results? (photos)

January 4, 2016
Asked By:LAMOMMY3 in Los Angeles, CA

I have 2 kids and gained 50 lbs with each. I'm now getting myself on track and lost 30 lbs in 2015 and I'm aiming to lose 20-30 lbs in 2016. I had lipo of the abdomen before my weight loss and now I have excess skin because of the lipo and tummy tuck. I will discuss my concern with my surgeon during my pre-op on Wednesday. I am returning to my previous surgeon, he did my breasts and lipo. Any suggestions?
