Will Tummy Tuck Really Affect my Waist Size and Curve?

TummyTucked
I am scheduled for tummy tuck. I am wondering if my waist will only lose the extra skin or will it actually have an effect on the size and curve. The nurse said during interview that I won't have lose skin, and it will be all nice and tight. Well, I was all nice and tight during my pregnanies too. So nice and tight doesn't alway work as desired. Can someone answer that for me?
