\t\t\t\t\"ManAbdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck<\/a>, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in the country. But contrary to popular belief, it\u2019s not meant to serve as a weight loss procedure, and significant changes in weight after your tummy tuck can affect your results. Whether you\u2019re wondering if you can lose weight after a tummy tuck or how a future pregnancy might affect your results, keep these three top tips in mind.<\/p>\n

1. Try to Reach Your Weight Loss Goals before Your Tummy Tuck<\/h2>\n

[pullquote]Work with Dr. Rand to come up with a suitable tummy tuck timeline that\u2019ll work well with your current weight loss or fitness plan.[\/pullquote]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before getting your tummy tuck, it\u2019s recommended that you try to come as close as possible to your target weight first. Not only does a tummy tuck not remove large amounts of stubborn fat, but losing a significant amount of weight after your procedure could leave you with more excess skin.<\/p>\n

Many people choose to combine liposuction<\/a> with their tummy tuck to address excess fat and skin at the same time.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t Fret Small Changes<\/h2>\n

If you gain or lose 5 to 10 pounds after your tummy tuck, don\u2019t sweat it. Small fluctuations in weight aren\u2019t likely to affect your results. But if you gain or lose a larger amount of weight, you may want to consider a revision procedure.<\/p>\n

3. Talk to Your Plastic Surgeon to See When Revision Might Be Best<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve had a significant life change, such as a pregnancy or weight gain or loss after abdominoplasty and aren\u2019t sure if you could benefit from a revision procedure, get in touch with your tummy tuck plastic surgeon<\/a>. Dr. Rand can help you decide if a second tummy tuck could be right for you.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
