I am 33 yo 5'2" my prepregnancies weight was 115 lbs now I am 138 lbs. i am having a hard time losingg the weight, has some high risk pregnancies and now I am dealing with diabetes and hypothyroidism. I hate my midsection but something else i dont like is how round my face looks. I am considering a tummy tuck and lipo for my midsection (tummy and thigs) but i want to know if my face will look any different? Or would I look all disproportional a round chubby face with a nice shaped body?

Answer: Body and face proportions after tummy tuck? It's a good question. It seems unlikely that your face would be out of proportion to your body. When preparing for any body contouring procedure it's best to reach your goal weight and make sure that your able to maintain it. In your situation it sounds like control of hypothyroidism and diabetes would help you achieve this goal.Being at your goal weight when you undergo surgery helps your surgeon obtain the best result, and gives the best chance to make the postoperative result long-lasting.Good luck with the process!

Answer: Body and face proportions after tummy tuck? Thank you for the interesting/unusual question. I have not had patients report that they feel that their faces are disproportionate to their bodies after undergoing body contouring surgery. My best suggestion: do your best to achieve your long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with any type of elective surgery. This may be challenging with the hypothyroidism… Make sure that the diabetes and hypothyroidism are well controlled. Then, it will be important for you to select your plastic surgeon carefully. Working together, you will come up with the best plan to achieve your goals. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.
