Answer: How Will Weight Gain Affect a Tummy Tuck? It is best to have the procedure when you are at a weight you can maintain and are finished having children. However, if you do gain more than 15 to 20 pounds it will stretch your skin out and then if you lose it you may have loose skin. Good luck.

Answer: The Lasting Effects of a Tummy Tuck and/or a Mommy Makeover The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy and information that you read online may not apply to your personal situation. Also, another element to a satisfying result of your procedures are realistic #expectations. The best method and #technique for your #procedures will be discussed in greater length during your one-on-one consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Therefore, if you experience weight gain, pregnancies, or any other drastic body altering changes, it is very possible the results may be compromised. Your surgery should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience with the procedures you are seeking. For instance, a plastic surgeon who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery is suitable to perform your #BreastAugmentation. Aside from checking #board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Answer: Weight gain after a Tummy Tuck An important aspect after a tummy tuck is the potential for weight gain. After surgery you are unable to do any real exercise for 6 weeks and doing nothing potentially leads to eating more and therefore you are more likely to put weight on. The best way to avoid this is to make a serious concious effort to control your diet and start walking as soon as you are able to. The last thing you want is to get through the first 6 weeks and realise you have put on 5-10kgs, whilst reversible and would not affect your results it can put a downer to what should be a very happy time for you. Significant weight gain 20kg+ does have the potential to "damage" the results.

Answer: Weight gain and your tummy tuck Thank you for this wonderful question! I am very careful to discuss weight changes and there possible effects with all of my patients prior to surgery. It is important to understand that it is normal to find that your weight may fluctuate between 10-15% throughout the year whether up or down. Following a cosmetic procedure such as a tummy tuck this is still very common with little risk of effecting the end result achieved. When you start seeing weight changes beyond the 10-15% whether up or down is where you start to run the risk of counteracting the achieved result. Weight gains beyond 15% have the ability to start to compromise the tightening and muscle repair performed during your tummy tuck. Weight losses beyond 15% have the potential to cause more loose skin, again effecting the tightness achieved. Weight stability it very important and should be discussed at any cosmetic consult, especially where abdominal contouring is involved. I do hope you have found this information helpful and I wish you luck!
