How Much Weight Difference Will I Have After TT?, I Am 5'5" and 155lbs.
In our San Francisco Bay Area practice, we perform this operation frequently. A tummy tuck is deisgned to reduce excess skin, adiposity, and tighten your abdominal wall muscles to improve your contour. Fat and skin itself is relatively light weight and the weight of the tissue removed is typically only a few pounds. The real difference is the shape improvement the surgery can make.
Clinical Context
Your result depends more on your anatomy than on your current weight. Surgeons look at how far your abdominal muscles have separated, how loose or elastic your skin is, and how much fat sits above versus below the muscle layer. Two people at the same weight can have very different amounts of tissue removed and very different outcomes, because loose skin and a stretched muscle wall affect the final shape much more than fat volume does. That's why your surgeon evaluates your specific anatomy at consultation rather than estimating from weight alone.
