When should you have a tummy tuck following massive weight loss?

After significant weight loss, having loose skin removed through tummy tuck surgery is a big step in a long series of overall physical changes.

You should wait until you have reached your goal and maintained it for some time before scheduling surgery.

During the weight loss process, your skin has shrunk to fit your new body as you’ve lost weight, but if you’ve lost more than 100 pounds, your skin’s ability to shrink may have already been maximized.  A tummy tuck or lower body lift can address the issue of remaining skin.
