  1. Hello. I just had a Tummy Tuck this past December. So you're not about to have a TTuck or scheduled for one, but you just want to see how others' have done? I probably wouldn't be much help but maybe others have more comprehensive (from pre-op to 6 months to 1 year Post Op) pictures available where you can see the full progression. In my experience the only real estimate you can get is if you gauge with those whose start weights/build/height/medical background/activity level is similar to yours. And even then one person's experience might not necessarily mimic yours - our bodies heal, form, and adapt in different ways. (A Size 14 patient with no kids might have a completely different result from a Sz 14 patient who has had large babies or a set of twins. Even if they are the exact same weight, the surgeon might approach their Tummy Tucks differently...) There are a bunch of great online resources about Tummy Tucks and Abdominoplasty and I'd be glad to point you to some links that show tons of Before's and After's to peruse. So although I'm a recent post-op, I am still healing and I doubt my photos would be of any interest or help to you. Now, I've do have some basic information on getting insurance approval that might be helpful whenever you're ready to start that process. Good Luck on this journey.
