Body Lift or Staggered Liposuction and Skin Removal For Saddle Bags?

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?

A: Liposuction Can Be Problematic After Massive Weight Loss

A photo would have been helpful, but with a 120 pound weight loss there usually is a good bit of excess skin.  Liposuction of your thighs alone will probably result in unattractive skin in the area.  A lower body lift would address this as well as other areas of excess skin which you probably have.

Is 56 Too Old For a Lower Body Lift? I've Lost 70 Lbs.

I lost 70 pounds thru bariatric surgery and am scheduled for lbl in 2 weeks am i too old or should i just live with excess tissue.

A: 56 Not Necessarily Too Old For Lower Body Lift

The fact that you are 56 years old does not mean that you too old for your surgery.  I am assuming that you are in reasonably good health since you are scheduled to have the procedure performed in 2 weeks.  Good health, nonsmoking status, normal blood pressure, etc. are much more important than age when determining risks for surgery.

What Are the Top 3 Things a Body Lift Surgeon Should Advise?

What will they tell patients besides details of the procedure, complications and the after care associated with a body lift?

A: Body Lift Details

A body lift is a big operation and there is no way to only list 3 things about which you should be aware.  There are a number of potential problems with body lifts that should be discussed with you.  You should obtain a consultation with a BC plastic surgeon and should also talk with someone who has already had the procedure performed.
