Hi I would like to know if you can reduce your stomach/waste by 5-10 inches with lipo and tummy tuck? I'm about 5'2, 159 lbs, mearements 35c-32-40, most of my weight in the stomach area is under the navel but I'm sure the stomach itself 5 lbs can be taken (if not more) with the loose skin from having kids. I would like for my measerments to be somewhere along the lines of 38C (implants with a lift)-22-32. Will this be at all possible and if so, can it be done in one session.
Answer: Tummy tuck is about shaping visually, not in measured inches

Answer: Tummy tuck goals Depending on whether circumferential liposuction is performed and how much your rectus muscle diastasic is reduced, you can certainly loose a substantial number of inches from your waist. But, that should not be how you measure the success of your tummy tuck. To loose more than 5 inches in the waist would be highly unusual, and surgeons will not guarantee a particular number of inches. If maximal waist narrowing is your goal, you certainly want to look at not only the tummy tuck, but also removing as much fat as possible with liposuction as well.

Answer: Possible for tummy tuck to trim 5 to 10 inches from waist? The tummy tuck operation addresses loose (droopy) skin, extra fat, and rectus muscles that have been pulled apart, (usually with pregnancy). We take off a substanital amount of tissue, but it does not weigh that much when placed on the scale. Remember bone and muscle weigh more than fat and skin. It will look like more "weight" was dropped by the patient as they will get into their clothes better and have a trimmer shape. Hard to say exactly how many inches. Best to talk to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Together you will come up with a plan.

Answer: Tummy Tuck to Reduce Waist 5-10 Inches - Is This Possible? Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, there is no "standard" number of inches lost after surgery given that every patient who undergoes tummy tuck surgery is different. Factors that come into play when it comes to answering your question include: overall body type, degree of muscle separation and adequacy of repair (plication), type of tummy tuck surgery performed, amount of adipose tissue present, quantity/quality of life is such an surgery performed, post operative maintenance of diet/exercise program… My best suggestion: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Ask to see lots of examples of similar patients and evaluate their outcomes. Doing so you may be able to achieve a level of expectation that is realistic.Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy tucks can reduce your waist size Your question is difficult to answer without a picture. In general 5- 10 inches is not achievable - unless you have a massive diastasis rectus.
