Should I Wait Until I Reach My Goal Weight to Have a Tummy Tuck?

No, you don't have to be at your goal weight to have a tummy tuck. But, the closer you are to your goal weight, the better your results. Typically it is best to be within 10-20 pounds of your goal weight. Keep in mind, every plastic surgeon has a different BMI and safety requirements and you can learn more about their guidelines during your consultation.
