I am wondering how much weight I can expect to lose free a tummy tuck and lipo of my sides? I am currently 4’11 and weigh 124 at 35 years old. I have had 3 kids as well.
Answer: How much weight can I expect to lose after a tummy tuck and lipo of my sides? Hello. Great question. Weight loss is not significant after a tummy tuck procedure. If any weight loss occurs, it will vary from patient to patient. Please schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to achieve your desired results.

Answer: Weight loss Tummy tuck and liposuction are not designed for weight loss and you may lose less than you think. They are designed though to help improve your contours and give you a flatter, tighter tummy. From the photos you appear to be a great candidate and should have a very nice result. As for weight loss you can anticipate around three to five pounds once swelling has resolved.

Answer: Weight loss after tummy tuck and lipo You really won't lose very much weight at all. In fact if you weigh yourself the day of your surgery and then three days later you will find that you actually weigh more! Then it will take several weeks to get back to your pre-operative weight as the swelling goes down but overall your scale won't change very much. Patients are always surprised by this but the fat and the skin don't weight very much--but while your scale may not notice the change but your pants will as you will get a smaller waist from the excess skin removal, muscle tightening and the liposuction. You want to make sure that your surgeon is going to be aggressive with the liposuction because this is really where you will get the change in shape from.

Answer: TT lined up how much will I go down That is a very good question that we frequently hear when talking to patients considering a tummy tuck. Most patients will lose in the 3 to 7 pound range after a tummy tuck and liposuction. However some patients may lose 8 to 12 pounds if they have had a massive weight loss after bariatric surgery or lifestyle change. Based on your photos I would expect you to be in the 3-4 pound range. However, don’t be surprised or discouraged when you initially look at the scales after surgery because it may go up for a few weeks due to swelling. Best of luck on your journey.

Answer: How much weight can I expect to lose after a tummy tuck and lipo of my sides? Although your results would be fantastic after a tummy tuck and lipo, you will not find you will lose a lot of weight. Skin and fat do not have a lot of weight to them. They occupy space, volume, not weight. So you will look like you lost weight after, but not typically notice a lot on the scale!
