HI,I had WLS and lost 120 lbs, feel great! I'm 5'10 tall and weigh 198 lbs with 25 more to be ideal wt. I workout daily, cardio & weight training but cannot seem to get rid of my outer thigh area which is disproportionately bigger than rest of my body. I wear a medium on top and XL pant 18! As I continue on my weight loss if I lose more weight on face will lose buccal fat now!:( Thinking of liposuction of saddlebags at this point in a series.. with lower body lift after?So discouraged your op?
Congratulations on your weight loss!! You should be VERY proud of yourself and not discouraged. I have seen many patients with the saddle bags you describe. If your saddlebags are "mild", I would suggest liposuction and a body lift in a single procedure. If your saddlebags are "moderate", I would suggest aggressive liposuction; liposuction may need to be done once or twice. After the liposuction , I would then suggest a body lift. If your saddlebags are "extreme", I would suggest liposuction and a body lift to be followed later, by a "wedge" excision. This "wedge" excision is a football excision of skin and fat over the saddlebag region. The resulting scar follows the bottom of a one piece bathing suit and extends from the lower buttock crease over the hip and sometimes into the groin. Good luck with your weight loss journey!!!

What exactly is a body lift? Am I a good candidate if I just lost 100 lbs and am dealing with lose and hanging skin? I am trying to find out if it is a lot different than a tummy tuck.
A body lift is a now common reconstructive procedure preformed after massive weight loss. The incision follows the belt line and extends from the pubic region to the hips and meets in the back. The beauty of the procedure is that it removes skin and fat from the abdomen, lateral hips, and buttocks all at the same time. The result is a flat abdomen, smooth hips, and a raised and contoured buttock.
I believe you would be an ideal candidate for a body lift. It is very important that your weight has stabilized and that you are not losing much more weight.
The body lift is different from a tummy tuck in that the body lift goes completely around your body. The tummy tuck only addresses your abdomen. The body lift addresses the abdomen, hips, and buttocks. Good luck with your weight loss journey!
