Tummy tuck and body fat percentage question

In order to maintain your long-term tummy tuck results, it is best to reach your desired goal weight prior to surgery and avoid ten pound or more fluctuations in weight postoperatively. Significant weight loss will cause skin stretch and a loosening of your tummy tuck results.

Dear Giving112088,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a tummy tuck, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

If you are at a healthy, stable weight you can proceed with your tummy tuck when you choose. Toning your body in the future should not negatively impact your results, but rather enhance them. However if you are planning to lose additional weight it is recommended that you complete your weight loss prior to having surgery to enable your surgeon to maximize your results.
