Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

It is best to get to your goal weight prior to tummy tuck.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tuck procedures each year.  Then look at the 
plastic surgeon's 
 website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can  
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I advise my patients to wait till they have lost their weight before undergoing surgery. That way I can see all the excess skin and tissues that you are likely to have, and I am clear what I am trying to achieve for you.I strongly suggest you sit down with your Plastic Surgeon and draw on his many years of specialisation to help you hear professional advice about how to plan your proposed surgery. There are many factors that he will use to help him plan a solution for you, and you need to have a face-to-face consultation to get this type of assessment.Well done for changing your lifestyle. I wish you well in your journey.
