It depends. This procedure works best on patients with a small to moderate amount of flab to address. In addition, we do recommend being as close to your goal weight as possible, since any future fluctuations can impact your results. With that said, if it’s determined that you need to lose weight before you’re ready for a mini tummy tuck, our Austin team will work with you to create a lifestyle plan that can improve your health and get you fit and ready for surgery.
