In my experience, I have had many patients lose up to 30 pounds after a tummy tuck without adversely affecting the results. However, I am unsure about the impact of losing more than that amount. Losing 20 pounds should not significantly impact the outcome of the procedure.
A 20-pound weight loss after abdominoplasty is common and often improves the results in most cases. It's important to note that the extent of weight loss will vary based on individual circumstances. Patients may lose weight after abdominoplasty due to various factors, including the actual removal of weight during the procedure, additional fat removal through suction, reduced appetite immediately after surgery, the tightening effect of the abdominal wall leading to feeling full faster, and an increased motivation to be active and engage in physical activities.
If you plan to lose weight, it is recommended to do so before undergoing a tummy tuck to ensure optimal results.
The effective weight loss from liposuction can vary greatly between patients, and it's recommended to have a discussion with the plastic surgeon to better understand the potential outcome.
