Does a tummy tuck with Lipo (I have ALOT of saggy leftover skin/fat) reduce bodyfat percentage? what is the possible range?

Asked By:Modest9356 in Tampa, FL

I have lost 118 pounds and have been at my goal weight for almost a year. (I am 5’2” and 131 pounds and 51 years old). I lift heavy and weight train hard but for the last 9 months I have made almost no progress in reducing body fat percentage as calculated with a bio impedance device. I’ve used several, so I know it’s at least somewhat close. (30%). My bodyfat percentage is NOT moving no matter how hard I weight train and I’m not interested in losing more weight. Like can I expect to lose say 5% bodyfat
