I don’t understand this at all. Why would they all gain weight 2 years later? This makes no sense.


It’s called lipo and tummy tucks don’t cure poor lifestyle and eating habits. I assure you none of these women were in the gym or eating well. I had a tummy tuck and lipo 12 years ago and my body still looks great, but I workout and I eat clean. These are magic solutions. Either you do the work or plan on annual tune ups to keep up with your terrible habits


You should probably tone down your superiority complex, since you needed lipo and a tummy tuck. In other words, less lecturing people about “doing the work.”

I got my tummy tuck at 47 pre menopause. I'm now 56 and my tummy it's as flat as ever. Been in the throws of menopause since I was 50.

20 pounds doesn’t ruin a tummy tuck (I am the person who had mine hold through subsequent preganancies and I can guarantee my stomach expanded more than a 20 lbs weight gain would cause). It is true you should be at an optimal weight and sustain it but I don’t believe you know all these people that gained 20 lbs and ruined them.

This is not true. One doesn’t “grow new fat cells.”

I didn’t have lipo but haven’t gained anything since my tummy tuck. I don’t think I had much fat removed as I was slender, just muscle repair and skin removal. I’m 15 years out.

What about a tummy tuck or lipo would cause people to gain weight?

Mine has held great but I’m only in peri. However, I did have two pregnancies after having the tummy tuck and it held up beautifully. I have gained a little in my midsection with peri but it went to my hips and thighs. My stomach is still very flat.

For those that had a TT?

How did it hold up through menopause? It seems nobody escaped the thickening of the menopause midsection—-even celebs.

If you had a TT in your 30s/40s and then went through menopause (50s, 60 year olds) did it hold up? Or did you still get some jello midsection ?
