Is it bad to lose 10 pounds after a tummy tuck?

It is always best to reach your goal weight before surgery because you don't know where that weight will be coming from.  I believe I saw another question from you regarding breast surgery -- this answer is even more important for breast surgery in my opinion.  Your breasts will change with weight loss more than your tummy will.For the best, longest lasting results I always recommend that you be at your goal weight prior to surgery.Also, you need to make plans because it sounds like your child is still in a very needy age range and you will not be able to take care of a child the same way that you do currently during your recovery.

It’s difficult to say how weight loss after your surgery will affect your results. Weight loss can leave you with loose skin, and so this may happen to you. However, depending on your current size and skin quality, 10lbs may not be a significant amount of weight for you to lose, so it may not impact your results (although this is hard to say). To be on the safe side, I suggest you reschedule your surgery until after you’ve reached your stable goal weight.

Thank you Eeeekitserika for your question.  Typically losing 10lbs after surgery shouldn't be an issue.  I would continue to do your best and lose as much as you can before surgery, but don't stress too much over 10lbs.  I would address all your concerns with your surgeon.
