Is There a Way to Determine What You Will Look Like Before Your Actual Tummy Tuck?

The answer is NO, but there is a way to have a pretty close idea:  Look at before and after photos of previous tummy tucks your chosen surgeon has done.  Find one or more that look similar to you.  Ask your surgeon if they are indeed similar from a surgical standpoint, and if you can expect that the results shown are approximately what you will have after surgery. 

In my opinion, the surgeon's work on past patients, provided he or she is applying the same technique, anticipates your expected result most closely.

Although before and after photos cannot guarantee results for specific patients, I think looking at before and after photos in your surgeon's office during your consultation should give you a reasonable idea of what to expect.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately at the present time the best way to show you how you're going to look after an abdominoplasty would be with your clothes on and a profile view using my iLipo app. Of course the best way is to have an in person consultation as well as looking at goal pictures of patients similar to your body habitus before surgery.
