I have lost 100 pounds so far and am planning on a tummy tuck. I have 30 pounds to go until I reach my goal weight of 135. Can I go ahead and get the tummy tuck or wait till I reach my goal? I'm very happy about the weight loss but I can't stand the loose skin.

Answer: Reaching ideal weight before tummy tuck surgery. First of all, congratulations on your weight loss journey. You definitely got over the most challenging part. I highly suggest waiting until you reach your target weight. You should be at a relatively stable weight for at least 6 months before your surgery. Gaining or losing weight can undo the contoured shape achieved during the operation. Good luck with everything.
