A tummy tuck can be performed on individuals who are overweight or obese, but it is generally recommended to achieve a stable and healthy weight before undergoing the procedure. Losing weight through diet and exercise can help optimize the results of a tummy tuck and reduce the risks associated with surgery. It is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual situation, discuss your goals, and provide guidance on the best approach to achieve optimal results while ensuring your safety and well-being. They will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that takes into account your unique needs and circumstances.
