Will Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Results Return After Weight Loss?
It is difficult to say for sure what will happen as you begin to shed the weight you gained after your procedure. You will certainly have improvements over your current contour. The issue is, weight flunctuations create issues for skin elasticity, potentially creating a situation where you have some loose skin whereas previously it was tight.
Clinical Context
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas, and a tummy tuck tightens the abdominal muscles and skin. Neither procedure changes how your remaining fat cells behave elsewhere in the body. If you gain weight afterward, those remaining cells can enlarge, and the skin that was tightened during surgery has less capacity to stretch and spring back than it did before. This can change your overall shape and skin firmness compared to before your original procedure.
