Best Procedure for Lower Body Fat

I have had two girls and I'm only 21. I really need to get ride of the stretch and the belly flap. I wanna have my inner thigh fat gone and hip fat and my butt fat as well. I've been looking Into a lower body lift but don't know if I'd be a candidate for it. I wanna also know if their is a reasonable priced doctor in Chicago who could help me get my before body back.

A: Looks like a tummy tuck will do

I am sure y ou could  use to lose a few pounds; however, a tummy tuck and some lipo of your love handles and perhaps inner thighs could be done. It will flatten your belly and get rid of the extra skin and stretch marks between your belly button and pubis.

Will I Need More Than a Tummy Tuck?

I am a 49 year old male, who has lost 245 LBS, I have seen four doctors, two think I could get by with a tummy tuck, one thinks a lower body lift, the other a tummy tuck with a horizontal cut. I have had three past surgeries for hernia repair, only one doctor said he would like to see reports from those surgeries. I like him and the one who would do a lower body lift and tummy tuck, he is also much cheaper, will have chest done as well, here is my photo any advise would be nice.

A: Tummy tuck vs. body lift

Congratulations on your weight loss.  The best procedures for you depend on your  concerns.  Typically with your amount of weight loss you will have skin laxity that extends all the way around your midsection.  If not contraindicated, in addition to a belt lipectomy you may need a vertical resection of skin on your anterior abdomen.  If you choose a doctor who commonly does massive weight loss body contouring they can delineate your options.  Besides your abdomen you may also want your arms, chest and inner thighs addressed.

Tummy Tuck vs. Body Lift

I am a 27 year old mother of 3. I'm 5'5" and 133 lbs. Have been planning my mommy makeover for a while now and have even had a couple of consults. I am having a breast lift and implants. I was also planning a tummy tuck and it was suggested to consider a medial thigh lift as this area drives me crazy. I don't have much fat on my body, just lots of stretch marks and some saggy skin. I am not at all excited about the scars in my groin, because I've heard that they always migrate down and show, so bathing suites would be an issue. I was looking at the pics of body lifts and wondering if this would be a better option? How well does the inner thigh area get lifted? Wouldn't mind a little boost in the booty anyway... I don't mind the scar from the body lift that goes all the way around, but I don't want to do this if the thigh results aren't substantial... Any suggestions?

A: Body lift for medial thighs

A body lift will not improve the excess skin over the medial thigh area.  Unfortunately, only a medial thigh lift will improve that with trade off of having scars in the area.
