“I am scheduled for my TT and lipo of thighs this week (3/30) and I am currently about 10 lbs from my ideal weight. I plan to lose the remaining 10lbs afterwards, though I am curious to find out if your body will lose weight in the same manner it would pre-TT. I tend to gain weight in my thighs and mid section first, then I’ll start to gain weight in my arms and face. However, since the amount of fat in my thighs and mid section will be much less then before will the weight loss be different?”, asked a RealSelf user.
“Most patients will lose weight after an abdominoplasty, especially if the plication is done tightly. In my practice that’s about a 10-15lb weight loss average. Because of the tightness of the inside stitches, you will likely feel early satiety for a few months after surgery. During this period eating habits are hopefully changed. You can expect to lose in a similar way as compared to before surgery. Good luck on your surgery.”, explained Aristocrat’s certified surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani, M.D., F.A.C.S.
